I didn't see James riding cautiously, or "hoping for a top 5"...I saw him very focused, but not taking any chances that might put him on the dirt. There's no doubt in my mind that, if the incident with Dungey hadn't occurred that Stewart would have been pushing for the lead before the end of the next straight. But...stuff happens, and it did. I hope he comes back for SD, but ONLY if he's 100%. No shame in sitting a race out because of the after effects of getting your bell rung...and it's a whole lot safer for other riders on the track as well.

I think you must have misted a few things like that!

Concussions tend to build up. To more concussions you´ve had the easier it is to get a new one and the effects grow stronger and last longer each time.

I think stewarts concussion toll is about maxed out. I do not want to see him end up like Michael Schumacher (F1 driver whos in coma because hit his head while skiing).

Broc Hepler knows about concussions, his past Where are they now? interview was a good one.

I am a Bubba fan (and fan of almost every rider out there) I would like to see him do good, but I dont want to see him injuring himself time and again and maybe getting brain damage. His crash really wasn`t that hard and it knocked him out cold, I dont think he can take much more hits to the head.

There was an interview he did a few years back, in his JGR days I believe that said he's only had 2 concussions up to that point. If we want to talk about maxed out concussions, TP takes the cake.

I am not seeing how people stated he gained a bunch of weight. In the broadcast (which they are using to say so) he was wearing chest armor under his shirt. That right there makes anyone look bigger.

Look at his face, chin and neck area. If he was "fat" or gained a bunch of weight, it would show there clear as day.

He is fine in that regard.

I will be very surprised if he is back from a concussion after just a week, he needs his brain to heal.
