Dale Earnhardt Jr. finding positives in Jeff Gordon's advice, not rushing return

Dale Earnhardt Jr. plans to find the positives in Jeff Gordon driving his car, including getting advice from the four-time champion. In the meantime, he's listening to his doctor's advice before deciding when to return to racing.

Speaking during his weekly podcast , Earnhardt said that he’s continuing his daily “physical and mental exercises” his doctors gave him, something that takes two to two-and-a-half hours daily.

Earnhardt’s not complaining though. He has missed the last two Sprint Cup races with concussion-like symptoms and his Hendrick Motorsports team already announced that Gordon will also drive the car in Sunday’s race at Pocono.
