Excerpts from a JournalNow story by Mike Mulhern about Dale Earnhardt: “Dale Earnhardt’s health, never questioned before, is suddenly a most serious issue after his unexplained collapse in his race car in the opening moments of Sunday’s Southern 500 in Darlington. Richard Childress, Earnhardt’s car owner, and Don Hawk, his business manager, both said yesterday that he will probably have to sit out Saturday’s Miller 400 in Richmond. Did Earnhardt have a stroke? His symptoms certainly indicate that as a possibility. Kevin Triplett, a spokesman for NASCAR, said that the sanctioning body is waiting for a clear OK from a doctor before allowing Earnhardt back into the car.”, see the rest of the story at The JournalNow (9-3-97)
