Sprint Cup drivers can't help but feel for Dale Earnhardt Jr. His plight, especially his long-term absence because of a head injury, is this close to being theirs.
Joey Logano addressed Earnhardt's news Friday, when it was announced he would not race again this season. Media members also got a chance to hear from Chris Buescher, who was involved in an accident cited as possibly the start of Junior's concussion-like symptoms.
Severe weather forced cancellation of all activities at Darlington, which was on the fringe of what was Hurricane Hermine's march from the Gulf of Mexico's Big Bend area of Florida northeastward to the Atlantic Ocean on Friday.
