Greg Biffle, a sought-after Sprint Cup star in a contract year, doesn’t foresee the recently announced #33 Richard Childress Racing Chevys as an option for his future. Biffle, who last week said he was “90 percent” sure he would sign a contract extension with his current team, Roush Fenway Racing, for 2009 and beyond, cited the fickle nature of the top-35 rule as a key deterrent from considering Childress’ fourth car. “I don’t really see that being an alternative for me,” Biffle said. “The one thing a guy’s got to look at is, I’m third in points [now] and have a chance to make the Chase right now, and I’m running fairly well. And to go to a team that has no points and try to qualify for the Daytona 500, and go to Las Vegas and try to qualify, and California, on time, and dodge rainouts — we see all these teams struggle to get in the top 35. I don’t see that as a smart career move for myself.”(ESPN.com)(4-5-2008)
