Greg Biffle says will not drive for Richard Childress Racing next season. Biffle, 43, began his NASCAR career in the Truck Series with Jack Roush in 1998 and remains under contract through 2014.
When the driver of the #16 3M Ford read the rumors on Twitter, he was equally surprised.
“I’m hit or miss with Twitter, right,” Biffle said. “I follow it quite a bit and then I don’t. So yesterday over the rain delay, I’m just bored out of my mind everyone was. I’m flipping through, reading some of the Twitter stuff and it’s kind of funny, that’s the first I heard of it last night when I read it on my Twitter account. You know how fans are, they’re like, ‘Hey, he should go over there. He’d be a great fit.’ But anyway, no, that’s news to me. We haven’t even started contract talks. We’ve had preliminary kind of talks around (sponsor) 3M extending but then again, we have over a year a year and a half left.”
Despite performance issues with the Generation 6 car for the Roush Fenway Racing Fords, Biffle, who is currently 13th in the point standings, acknowledges that he’s “really happy” with his current team. “It’s not from a lack of effort,” Biffle said. “And that’s all I care about. We’ve got all the resources and tools and everybody is trying hard. Yeah, we’re scratching and clawing to get our head above water, but that’s all we can do. (FoxSports)
