it was reported on FoxSports1 (thanks for the Jayski mention) during practice by Bob Dilner that #78 Furniture Row Racing is working on a contract extension for driver Kurt Busch. Busch is rumored to be talking to Stewart Haas Racing to run a 4th car there in 2014. Supposedly FRR will have the contract extension ready for Busch to look at after the first practice session at Bristol.(8-23-2013) UPDATE: Kurt Busch has been offered an extension from Furniture Row Racing. Although Busch was offered a deal from FRR earlier this year, he opted to wait and ‘kick the tires before making a final decision. ‘The timing of making a decision is what it needs to be’ Busch said. ‘There are timelines on things and things that have to fall into place. The timing of this is tough because its the middle of August and its the run towards the Chase. But its a decision I have to put a lot of time and effort into. ‘So, well see how things play out. Right now, the focus is these three weeks and getting into the Chase. The cool part about everything is that after the next three weeks, I hope were five points from the championship lead because that will mean we are in.” When SHR competition director Greg Zipadelli was asked about Buschs status for next season, he replied, ‘As far as Kurts deal, that is moving forward. We spent some time this week talking about buildings and expanding. As far as that part of it goes we are pretty much committed.”( FoxSports )
