Biffle staying with Roush
Greg Biffle will be driving the No. 16 Ford for Roush Fenway Racing for another three years after the driver and the team agreed on a deal Friday.
That's one driver who is staying put amid speculation that Tony Stewart and Mark Martin are about to switch teams.
Biffle said he was impressed with how all the cars at Roush Fenway Racing have closed the gap in the past year on some of the top teams in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.
"We were behind last season, dramatically behind," Biffle said, "and we made the commitment to try and catch up and it's so hard to play catch up, but we've been able to close that gap, I feel, to the Hendrick cars for sure, but we're still maybe chasing the Gibbs cars by just a razor of a margin, probably not much, but on top of that we're looking further ahead and that's what we need to do. We want to be the innovator for awhile. We want people chasing us and that was one of the decisions I made.
"I also want to say that I'm gonna be running the Nationwide Series next year with the Citifinancial group. We haven't made a decision on a schedule yet, but between 15-20 races I guess would be what we're looking at doing for next year."
