All eyes on Dale Earnhardt Jr., awaiting word on when he will drive next

Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s decision day arrived Wednesday, and it had nothing to do with the No. 88 car's paint scheme for Sunday's race at Michigan.

It all depends on what Junior's doctors have to say. Hendrick Motorsports planned to make an announcement, yea or nay, once medical tests were complete.

Alex Bowman's weekend plans will include a trip Michigan, where at worst he will be available to drive if Earnhardt has a setback. Bowman is not scheduled to drive for Earnhardt's JR Motorsports, which sends three teams into competition in the Xfinity Series.

So the question is: What will doctors say regarding Earnhardt?
