Savor this Sunday’s Coke Zero 400. Relish it.
It might be the last one Dale Earnhardt Jr. ever runs.
NASCAR’s most popular driver has made it clear, he will not beat his brains out — literally — in order to continue racing.
“Of course I’m human and I’m going to be concerned,” says Earnhardt, who sat out much of last season trying to overcome serious concussion issues.
“I would definitely not want to come back and try to race anymore if I won the championship; I’d be outta here,” he said and laughed.

Even more impressively, he has announced he will donate his brain to research.
Dale Earnhardt Sr. made NASCAR safer when he died; Dale Jr. is making it safer while he lives.
That is the mark of a true Athlete
