#16-Greg Biffle told Motorsport.com last month at Darlington that it was his ‘intent’ to stay at Roush Fenway Racing and he had ‘a feeling (he was) getting closer’ to inking a new deal. However, following his conversation Wednesday night with Claire B. Lang on Sirius/XM NASCAR Radio, Biffle’s plans didn’t sound so concrete. ‘I think there’s plenty of opportunities in the industry to be in competitive cars,’ Biffle said. ‘I enjoy being at Roush Fenway. I love 3M. We have a great relationship and the program works really, really well for 3M ‘¦ Plain and simply, I’ve got options. I know I’m going to be racing. I know I’m going to be driving a car. So I’m not worried about it.’(Motorsport)(5-9-2014)
UPDATE: Greg Biffle has no desire to leave Roush Fenway Racing when his contract expires at season’s end. ‘No, not a bit,’ Biffle said Friday at Kansas Speedway when asked if he was looking outside of the Roush organization. ‘Absolutely, 100 percent ‘No.’ ‘Biffle said earlier this week on SIRIUS/XM NASCAR Radio’s ‘Dialed In’ that negotiations are continuing with current sponsor 3M to extend the company’s deal to back Biffle’s #16 Ford. While nothing is imminent in terms of finalizing a new contract, Biffle says talks are continuing in the right direction. ‘We have a great relationship. They’re very happy with the program,’ said Biffle. ‘There is a bunch of new people trying to get their arms around all of the business. They’ve got a lot of business units inside that ‘3M’ ‘¦ which likes having all these sponsors in the garage part of one company. This is a big deal for them.’(Motor Racing Network)(5-9-2014)
