DaleJr says he ran 15 laps at a time, would get evaluated, and then go 15 laps about 20 minutes later. Says he got stronger thru test.
The Darlington test lasted about 5 hours.
Dale Jr on test: "I felt throughout the day I got more & more comfortable in the car. It felt like an old shoe by the end of the day
Rick Hendrick: "I think Dale being back in the car & Jimmie's championship, it's going to be a real nice Christmas for all of us."

Dale Jr. says he wouldn’t be coming back if there was any risk other than the typical risk any other driver faces

"We still have a couple more months of my brain being able to sturdy itself up" @DaleJr who says he was fitted for a new helmet
The 'fitted' part is strictly about comfort and not additional protection. Joey Logano had the same thing done last season.
DaleJr said he will revisit contract talks before the 2017 season starts.
