CONCORD, N.C. -- Dale Earnhardt Jr. will miss the next two races with his second concussion in the past six weeks, ending the championship chances of NASCARs most popular driver. The first concussion, suffered in a crash during an Aug. 29 tire test at Kansas, went undiagnosed until Wednesday, when Earnhardt was examined in Charlotte for lingering effects from Sundays crash at Talladega. "I knew having those two concussions back to back was not a good thing," he said Thursday at Charlotte Motor Speedway. "I knew to go see someone whether I wanted to get out of the car or not." Hendrick Motorsports said Earnhardt will sit out races Charlotte and Kansas, and Regan Smith will replace him in the No. 88 Chevrolet. Earnhardt, who celebrated his 38th birthday on Wednesday, was injured in a 25-car, last-lap accident Sunday at Talladega. Because he was able to drive his car away from the accident -- teammate Jimmie Johnson even caught a lift on the window back to the garage -- Earnhardt was not required to go to the care centre for an examination at the time. Immediately after the race, he called restrictor-plate racing "bloodthirsty" and said he no longer had any desire to compete at Daytona and Talladega. The wreck was at least the second hard hit Earnhardt has had this season. He struck the wall extremely hard during the Goodyear test at Kansas when his right front tire failed, an accident driver Brad Keselowski tweeted about moments afterward. Earnhardt, who attended a Washington Redskins exhibition game later that evening, was asked Thursday why didnt he seek attention after the Kansas accident. "Too stubborn" he said. "With the Chase coming up, if I was to volunteer myself for medical attention, I didnt know how difficult it would be to get back in." He added: "I knew something was not right. But I decided to just push through. Id had concussions before." Dr. Jerry Petty, a neurosurgeon who consults for NASCAR and also personally treats Earnhardt, said the driver was honest about his symptoms over the last six weeks. Earnhardt underwent an MRI on Wednesday and tests came back normal with no damage. "He had no amnesia after either incident, which is very important," Petty said. Well want to give him four, five days without a headache," and then theyll try to invoke a headache to see how he reacts before clearing him to race." Said Earnhardt: "I feel perfectly fine, but I dont want to keep getting hit in the head." Earnhardt earlier this season snapped a 143-race winless streak dating to 2008, and many believed he was in the best position in years to finally win his first Sprint Cup Series championship. But he had a mediocre start to the Chase for the Sprint Cup and left Talladega ranked 11th in the field. By sitting out the next two races, hell most certainly finish last in the 12-driver Chase race. Earnhardt will also end his streak of 461 consecutive starts, which is the fifth longest active streak in the Sprint Cup Series. NASCAR strengthened its commitment to keeping drivers with concussions off the track in 2002, in part because Earnhardt admitted he was unable to fully concentrate or communicate with his crew chief after an accident at California. He self-diagnosed himself with a concussion, which he revealed weeks later. NASCAR then said doctors at infield care centres could require drivers to undergo CT scans or MRIs if they suspected a concussion. Clearance to race after suffering a concussion is not given until after a driver obtains a medical release. Nationwide Series driver Eric McClure missed six weeks this season with lingering effects of a concussion suffered at Talladega. McClure said the concussion he sustained in the May 5 race was the third of his career, one of the main reasons his doctors and NASCAR officials made him sit out for an extended period of time. "Theres not really a set timetable for those things and thats been the challenging thing," McClure said after his June return. "Thats what kept me from coming back was the lingering symptoms. I really felt a couple of weeks ago, after the first two weeks of being away from the track, and having total brain rest, that I was ready. But (my doctor) felt like we needed to wait, and I respect that opinion." David Lee Warriors Jersey . Mike Zigomanis, Joe Colborne and Jerry DAmigo also scored in the opening period as Toronto (23-15-5) jumped out to an early 5-1 lead. Will Acton added a goal in the third period. DAmigos goal was a short-handed score. Authentic Marreese Speights Jersey . What his New York Mets teammates would really like, however, is to make their own run at October with Beltran by their side. "Whats the option, give up? Let us take it down a different path?

Trailing by six points with three minutes to play, a botched punt by Toronto kicker Grant Shaw would give Edmonton great field position and lead to a 21-yard touchdown catch by Fred Stamps as the Eskimos came from behind to continue their torrid start to the season, defeating the visiting Argonauts 26-25 on Friday.

Stephen Curry Red Jersey . "When Brandon Morrow went down, that killed us," said the now former Blue Jay, referring to the forearm injury Morrow suffered in late May that ended his season. With general manager Alex Anthopoulos uncomfortable, at least for the time being, with the market price for mid-range starting pitching and with no acquisition, either through free agency or via trade, apparently imminent, Morrows return to health is crucial to the Jays becoming the contender many thought they would be a year ago. CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Roy Halladay was just glad to make it to the mound at all. The ace right-hander pitched two innings in a rain-shortened final spring start, and the Philadelphia Phillies went on to an 8-5 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday. Halladay allowed two runs and three hits, struck out three and walked none before a 37-minute rain delay interrupted the exhibition game. He finished his work inside the batting cage and is set to face the Pirates in Pittsburgh on opening day. "I got to face some hitters which for there a little while we werent sure if I was going to be in the cage from the get-go - Ill take it," said Halladay, who warmed up before the game with ominous clouds closing in on Clearwater. "If its every going to rain it might as well be today on a short (start) as opposed to one where youre supposed to throw six or seven innings." The 34-year-old Halladay will throw a side session on Monday in Philadelphia before making his 10th straight opening-day start on Thursday. No pitcher in baseball has made more consecutive opening-day starts. "Im happy with everything," Halladay said of his spring. "The last week is always tough. Im looking forward to a change of scenery; Ive been here since December, so Im ready." Jose Bautista, Edwin Encarnacion and Luis Valbuena homered for Toronto. Bautista hit a solo drive off David Herndon for his fourth spring homer. Blue Jays left-hander Ricky Romero prepped for his opening-day start by retiring all six batters he faced, striking out two. "I think thats the best Ive felt all spring," Romero said. "I was sharp with all of my pitches. Its where I wanted to finish." The 27-year-old Romero will make his second consecutive opening-day start on Wednesday in Cleveland. As the Blue Jays prepared to break camp, Romero spoke optimmistically about the teams chances this season.dddddddddddd "Ive said it all along, I lead by example, Im not a rah-rah guy - I just come in and do my work," Romero said. "I feel like everyone is a leader in their own way. Were arrogant in a good way and know we can win. I think those are good qualities to have." Phillies outfielder John Mayberry Jr. ended an 0-for-19 skid with a solo home run off Clint Everts in the seventh inning. It was Mayberrys first spring homer. NOTES: Philadelphia RHP Mike Stutes (shoulder soreness) played catch. He will stay in Clearwater when the Phillies break camp Sunday and could throw in a minor league game Tuesday or Wednesday. The Phillies have not ruled him out for opening day. . RHP Jose Contreras "probably" will start the season on the disabled list, Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro said.

Francisco is scheduled to play in a minor league game on Sunday. . Toronto 1B Adam Lind (lower back) could be back in the lineup Sunday.
