Dale Jr.'s contract is on hold, yet again. This time, however, the reason was one nobody could have thought of. Kelly Earnhardt Elledge, Jr.'s sister had to be taken to the hospital. According to reports they wanted to admit her for 2-3 days.

The contract signing is not on hold for personal reasons alone. Kelly is officially Vice president and General Manager of JR Motorsports. She handles all of Jr.'s business affairs, and is representing Jr. in the contract negotiations. I have followed Kelly over the years; I caught as many of her races as I could. Not only does she have brains, she also showed she had the racing blood in her. Before she decided to get out of the car, and focus on family, I had hoped she would get to Cup racing. (Jr. and Kerry fans, sorry, she's my favorite of the siblings.)

So, until Kelly gets better there won't be a signed contract. Get well soon!
