Biffle, Bowyer Out Of Rumor Mill

Posted by Jeremy Dunn Jun 27, 2008

Even though Greg Biffle and Clint Bowyer stated that they plan to remain with their respective teams, silly season rumors have included both drivers. Over the past two months, Biffle has publicly declared his desire to remain at Roush Fenway Racing at least until 2011, and this became official today.

"I weighed, certainly, all of my options out and it felt like the 16 car is where I really wanted to spend my next three years driving."

A year ago, I thought Biffle was the odd-man out at Roush Fenway Racing, but his performance has thrown that notion out the window.

Meanwhile, Clint Bowyer's name somehow got thrown into the mix. Supposedly, Hendrick Motorsports courted last year's breakthrough driver. Bowyer is one of NASCAR's most consistent young drivers, and it is unlikely that Childress would allow Bowyer to leave. And why would Bowyer want to leave? He has a great relationship with both Childress and his two teammates Jeff Burton and Kevin Harvick.
