Patrick sore after Phoenix accident:

Danica Patrick said she doesnt have a concussion from Sundays hard crash at Phoenix, but she joked she might have one from Thursday night when a rock hit her in the head. ‘I feel like I got a concussion last night when I got hit with a rock at the [Las Vegas Motor Speedway] dirt track’ Patrick said Friday. ‘Its really sore. It hit me straight in the head, and I went to the ground. Good thing I had a hat on, or I feel there would have been blood.” NASCAR officials said there was no need for Patrick to get evaluated Friday at the LVMS infield care center because she was evaluated Thursday night when the incident happened. Patrick also said NASCAR medical officials called her Monday to ask her how she was feeling one day after a hard, head-on crash into the outside wall at Phoenix when a right-front tire blew out on her #10 Chevy. Patrick said her neck remains sore, but she doesnt expect it to cause her any problems this weekend.( ESPN )
