J.D. Gibbs undergoing treatment for "symptoms impairing brain function"

J.D. Gibbs, the son of former NFL Washington Redskins coach and current NASCAR championship race team owner Joe Gibbs, is undergoing treatment for what was simply stated as "brain function issues," according to reports on Wednesday. Gibbs, according to the team, has experienced a "gradual onset of symptoms that includes speech and processing issues," which doctors said could be related to head injuries he suffered years ago. Although unlikely in Gibbs' case, these symptoms are sometimes the result of more serious cases such as brain tumors and brain cancer. But the JGR community is confident that Gibbs will make a full recovery, and he is expected to keep his presence at the team's shops during his treatment. Gibbs' case comes at the same time Kyle Busch is recovering from a compound leg fracture he suffered in a crash during the Xfinity Series race at Daytona in February, as well as another recurrence of Brian Vickers' blood clots, the same ones that prompted Vickers' December heart surgery.
