Hendrick Motorsports will likely make a decision on Earnhardts availability on Wednesday.Dale is special to me, take the driving part away, Hendrick said. I just want him to feel good when he gets back in the car.

He felt worse Tuesday and told his team that it needed to at least consider a backup driver for New Hampshire. When medication for allergies and a sinus infection failed, Earnhardt dug deeper and met with a neurological specialist. After further evaluation, it was decided Earnhardt had to sit.He missed two races in 2012 when it was determined he had suffered two concussions in six weeks. Earnhardt was involved in a 22-car wreck in Daytona this month and also wrecked last month at Michigan International Speedway.Earnhardt is winless this season and 13th in the points standings.
