NASCAR
Jeff Gordon to replace Earnhardt, Jr. for next 2 races
By MICHAEL MAROT
Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — Dale
Earnhardt Jr. will not race again this
month because of concussion-like
symptoms and the No. 88 car will
be turned over to trusted former
teammate Jeff Gordon for the next
two weeks.
Hendrick
Motorsports
announced Wednesday that Earn-
hardt has not yet been cleared to
drive by doctors and will miss
Sunday’s Brickyard 400 as well
as next weekend’s race at Pocono.
NASCAR’s most popular driver
has been battling balance issues
and nausea since a July 2 crash at
Daytona.
Earnhardt pulled himself out of
the car last weekend in New Hamp-
shire and was replaced by Alex
Bowman. After another medical
evaluation Tuesday in Pittsburgh,
doctors told Earnhardt to take more
time off.
“Our focus is giving Dale all
the time he needs to recover,” team
owner Rick Hendrick said. “There’s

before the Daytona 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup series auto race at
Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla.
nothing we want more than to see
him back in the race car, but we’ll
continue to listen to the doctors and
follow their lead. What’s best for
Dale is what’s best for Hendrick
Motorsports and everyone involved
with the team. We’re all proud of
him and looking forward to having
him racing soon.”
While retirement talk for the
41-year-old
Earnhardt
might
be premature, his history of
concussions is clearly a concern.
He had two in a six-week span in
2012 and missed two races. The
latest symptoms surfaced after
a mid-June crash at Michigan
International Speedway and the
wreck at Daytona. Earnhardt said
he felt steadily worse, believing it
was allergies at irst. A neurological
specialist later conirmed Earnhardt
had sustained a head injury.
“I’ve struggled with my balance
over the last four or ive days, and I
deinitely wouldn’t have been able
to drive a race car this weekend,”
Earnhardt told fans in a recording
made Sunday night. “I made the
decision I had to make.”
A team spokeswoman said
Earnhardt will not take questions
this week or next and that Gordon is
not expected to speak publicly until
Friday in Indy.
The move comes at a time that
Hendrick’s powerhouse team has
been out of sync. Its drivers have
been shut out of the top three
inishing spots in four consecutive
races. Hendrick is now turning to
Gordon, the four-time NASCAR
champion who retired at the end of
last season. He’s a ive-time winner
at the Brickyard, which has strug-
gled with sluggish ticket sales in the
lead up to Sunday’s race at a track
that is just a short drive away from
his childhood home in Pittsboro,
Indiana.
Gordon has not competed since
retiring after the 2015 season inale.
The 44-year-old Gordon will get
one more chance to become the irst
driver to reach victory lane six times
at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
He also counts a record six wins at
Pocono among his 93 career Cup
victories, all with Hendrick’s team.
Gordon steps into Earnhardt’s
No. 88 Chevrolet at a time when
Axalta, a longtime primary sponsor
of Gordon’s, is scheduled to
sponsor four of the next ive races
for Earnhardt. He will be racing
against his much more familiar No.
24 car, which Chase Elliott drives.
