�I�m extremely happy and relieved to have this contract complete,� said Biffle. �I have a team that can contend for the championship this season and for future seasons as well. 3M has been an incredible partner for several years now and having them on board made the decision even easier. All the elements are in place: the resources of Ford and Roush Fenway, the excellent team, the outstanding cars and having a great primary sponsor like 3M for the next few years.�

Another deal that has been done is that Clint Bowyer has resigned with Richard Childress Racing also for three years. Bowyer revaled the resigning on PRN's Garage Pass show.

Damn that "Carpet Eater"

Ah, good times on NASCAR Raceday as Jimmy Spencer screws up Patrick Carpentier's last name pronouncing it "Carpet Eater". The boys on "This Week in NASCAR" had a field day with that.



Too funny.

Is NASCAR trying appeal to "Carpet Eaters?" Wait, what??? (Awful Announcing)

Greg Biffle intends to re-sign with Roush

Greg Biffle seems confident that he will be back with Roush Racing next season despite his criticism of the team when he failed to finish the race last week at Darlington.
"That had nothing to do with my contract," he said before the All-Star Pit Crew Challenge at the Charlotte Bobcats Arena. "I was mad my stuff was broke." Biffle said negotiations are continuing and he hopes to finish a deal by mid-summer. "That is my focus," he said. "My focus hasn't changed."

Well hopefully Greg can start focusing on team morale, teams don't respond too well when you give them crap on national television.
