With the contracts of #99-Carl Edwards and #16-Greg Biffle up for renewal at the end of 2014, signing the two Roush Fenway Racing drivers for another term – before their statuses become a distraction – could be more taxing than worrying whether either veteran qualifies for one of the 16 places in the Chase for the Sprint Cup. ‘It’s our intent and goal to re-sign both of them,’ Roush Fenway Racing President Steve Newmark said Wednesday. ‘They’ve spent their careers at Roush, and we hope they retire (here). We’ve had those discussions and they’ve been actively involved in a lot of the changes and stuff that have been going on, so they’re pretty optimistic about the future. I think they’re pretty optimistic about the future, but I don’t have any concrete news to report on it.’(FoxSports)(1-30-2014)
