LOUDON, N.H. -- Four-time Sprint Cup champion?Jeff Gordon will return to the racetrack at Indianapolis Motor Speedway if Dale Earnhardt Jr.?doesnt recover from his concussion-like symptoms in time for the race July 24.Earnhardt, who is being treated, has been replaced by Alex Bowman?this weekend at New Hampshire Motor?Speedway. Hendrick Motorsports general manager Doug Duchardt said Friday morning that a decision likely would be made by Wednesday.Gordon, an equity owner in Hendrick Motorsports, retired after last season following a career that spanned 23 years with 93 wins in 797 starts. He worked the first half of the season for Fox Sports as a race broadcast analyst. He tweeted Thursday he was in France.The winner of the first Brickyard 400 in 1994, Gordon has won a record five Sprint Cup races at Indianapolis -- 1994, 1998, 2001, 2004 and 2014.Hes a four-time [Sprint Cup] champion with 93 wins -- hes not a bad person to think about to get in the car, Duchardt said Friday morning at New Hampshire. This week, hes in France. ... If Dale is not able to go at Indianapolis, well put Jeff Gordon in the car.When Dale is ready, its his car to get back into.Duchardt said the team did not know until Tuesday that Earnhardt -- who thought he was suffering from allergies or a sinus infection -- might need a relief driver for this weekend and then didnt know until noon Thursday, after Earnhardt underwent two days of neurological tests, that the driver would not be able to race at all.Earnhardt missed two races in 2012 because of two concussions over a six-week period. In a statement Thursday, Earnhardt said he believed wrecks June 12 at Michigan and July 2 at Daytona could have resulted in concussions.Duchardt would not speculate over whether this could be a career-ending injury to Earnhardt, nor would he estimate how long Earnhardt would be out.The most important thing is for this process to play out for him to feel better, Duchardt said. At the end of all that, whats the right thing to do, that will become clear when more knowledge is gained as how he is feeling.With eight races left in NASCARs regular season, Earnhardt is 14th in the Chase-qualifying standings, and missing more than one race would heavily affect his chances of getting into the 16-driver Chase.Duchardt wouldnt say whether Earnhardts playoff chances would influence a decision for the rest of the season.We just want to take it one race at a time, Duchardt said. Any speculation past [Indy] is assuming that Dale is not going to be ready for that amount of time. Well obviously be thinking about contingency plans, but we dont have anything formalized for sure. ... As we gain information through this, well look at the scenario, whether its short term or long term.Until we get to that point, Im not going to speculate what were going to do.Gordon has run in every Brickyard race since the inaugural event in 1994. He has five wins, 17 top-10s and an average finish of 9.9. Formula Ones Michael Schumacher is the only other driver to reach Victory Lane at Indy five times in any major series.Defending Brickyard 400 winner Kyle Busch said he didnt expect Gordon to have any problem getting back in the race car, if need be, for the first time since November.Jeff always said when he was stepping to the side that he was not retiring, so I think that is pretty neat that theres an opportunity there for him to come back and race probably in one of his favorite races -- given that hes somewhat of a hometown boy when he goes to Indiana, Busch said.If that all comes to fruition, I do feel Jeff can jump right back in. ... He would be able to handle it just fine. Hes been around the sport all this year.The Combat Wounded Coalition 400 at The Brickyard presented by Crown Royal is set for July 24.ESPN Stats & Information contributed to this report.

Brad Fittler has called for an overhaul of the NRL judiciary, blasting it as convoluted and a bit of crap.The former rugby league star lamented that the games judicial process had become too difficult for the average fan to understand and called for the introduction of common sense.Lets go back to the old school, look at each incident and just say, Righto, youre out for two weeks, Fitter told the Sunday Footy Show.The whole wording of all these difference things - careless, reckless, the gradings, its all turned into a bit of crap, I think.Rankled by inconsistencies in penalties handed down by the match review committee and judiciary, the former NSW and Australian captain called for those deciding the charges to call a spade a spade.He praised decision-makers for charging Canterbury prop Sam Kasiano - who faces two to three weeks out - for his kick to the face of Brisbane skipper Corey Parker.ddddddddddddHowever, he admonished them for allowing Gold Coast captain Ryan James to play this week after having his high-tackle charge downgraded for his shot on James Tedesco.The Tigers fullback is likely to miss the rest of the year with a broken jaw and Fittler said Tedescos injury should have been considered by the judiciary.I think its humanly impossible not to take into consideration if youve injured a player, Fittler said.Obviously the Tedesco case, you know hes got a broken jaw.In (Kasianos) case he split Corey Parker all over the lips, you know, youve seen the pictures, its impossible to deny that.
