Concussions and how they’re diagnosed were pushed back into the spotlight this weekend with the news that #83-Matt DiBenedetto was put into NASCAR’s concussion protocol and would miss the AAA Texas 500 at Texas Motor Speedway. The news brought criticism from Brad Keselowski about the nature of concussion diagnosis. During NBC’s rain delay coverage for the Sunday’s race at Texas Motor Speedway, analyst and Hall of Famer Dale Jarrett spoke about his experiences due to concussions he suffered during his Hall of Fame career. ‘In three weeks I will be 60 years old and I do struggle with memory loss, with things in my brain I know probably came from some of those concussions, that’s what I’ve been told,’ said Jarrett, who retired from racing in 2008. ‘Would it have happen anyway without the concussions that I went through? I’m not sure.’(NBC Sports)
