Dale Earnhardt Still in Hospital (Monday a.m.)

1 September 1997

As of 10:00 AM Monday morning there is nothing new to report with
regard to Dale Earnhardt. Earnhardt, according to a team spokesman,
rested comfortably last night.

What will happen next will largely depend on the results of a battery
of tests that will be performed this morning. Earnhardt remains at the
Florence, SC facility where he was admitted yesterday.

We will be in contact with Earnhardt's people throughout the day and
will bring you updates as soon as there is anything new to report.
