CONCORD, N.C. -- NASCAR teams shopping for a driver in 2009 can look elsewhere. Greg Biffle is staying put.
Biffle, in his fifth full season with what is now Roush Fenway Racing, has a contract through the 2008 season, but plans to stick around beyond that. Earlier this year, he had said that any extension on that deal would have to be done by the end of this season.
"I felt like it was important to get it done and not become an issue next year," Biffle said. "Let's say we get three weeks into the season next year and I'm not really under contract -- I'm a free agent. Well, when so-and-so announces they're gonna have a fourth team, or somebody gets fired because they did a bonehead move, or whatever happens, I'm the first guy who is gonna be going to the 49 or going to the 28 car, who knows, whatever it is.
"I don't want that to be a distraction. I don't know how soon we'll get going on [an extension], probably as soon as we get winter testing going, we'll probably start getting after that."

everything has it's proper time. glad he's tough enough to keep his agent and others waiting 'till the time is right (for him).

Why jump ship if its not sinking? He could have had a few more finishes that would have been top 10's, but good ole racing luck and bent cars prevented that from happening. He has a good thing where he is now, I dont think he will leave. But I could be wrong. I was once. (marriage)
