BLOG: Where There's Smoke...the Latest Edition

May 9 2014 - 12:01pm

You know how when stuff starts to percolate in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, there's a period in which something is true, something could be going either way and then there's a new reality?

Greg Biffle could be moving on from Roush Fenway Racing at the end of the season, or so it has been reported. The latest flash in that particular pan is courtesy of Motorsport.com.

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."

I'd say it's not a three-alerm fire yet, but it's a-smoldering!
