Kyle Larson has been cleared to return to NASCAR racing next weekend at Texas Motor Speedway after fainting last weekend during an autograph session.
Chip Ganassi Racing said in a statement Thursday there has been a "thorough review" of all test results by his physicians and NASCAR's medical staff.
The 22-year-old driver missed Sunday's race at Martinsville Speedway in Virginia. After fainting at the speedway Saturday, he was taken to a hospital in Charlotte, North Carolina, and was held there until late Monday. The team has not yet said why he fainted.
