Driving a stock car in traffic at a high rate of speed requires timing and hand-eye coordination that most of us just don’t have.  And even the few that do, don’t when suffering the effects of a concussion.  That’s why Dale Earnhardt didn’t drive last week, and will miss Kansason Sunday.  But it appears he’s doing everything he can to get better.  Kelley Earnhardt Miller is Junior’s sister and manager.  Here’s what she wrote on  the JR Nation website: 

"Dale has been following the doctor's orders to rest up. The doctor did relax his orders a little last week and allowed him to watch some television and play a little video games. He's not suppose to "stress" his brain, LOL. We spent the day Tuesday in Pittsburgh at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center with a great team of doctors led by Mickey Collins. Dale spent most of the day doing different therapies and exercises. We got back yesterday afternoon and Dale has some different therapies to do at home as he consults with the doctors each day. If all goes according to plan, and he continues to improve to 100%, he will test a race car early next week to be cleared for Martinsville. This has definitely been an eye opening experience and one that I hope we don't revisit in his career."
