Roush Fenway hopes to have drivers locked in soon for ’09

SONOMA, Calif. – Roush Fenway Racing hopes to soon solidify its current driver lineup in the same positions for 2009, team president Geoff Smith said Sunday at Infineon Raceway.
The first item would be locking in Greg Biffle, who said Friday he expects to complete the deal this week.
“I think an announcement is imminent,” Smith said about Biffle.
As far as David Ragan, Smith also was optimistic.
“We’re working through a final contract now with a sponsor, and unless Tony Stewart puts a wheel under us [in his sponsorship quest], it should be over very shortly,” Smith said.
The team’s other three drivers – Carl Edwards, Jamie McMurray and Matt Kenseth – are already signed for next season.
Roush Fenway Racing can have five teams in 2009 but will have to cut down to four for the 2010 season.

Jun 22, 2008 at 1:21 PMWould love to see Hendrick Mortorsports hire David Ragan to drive the #5 Kelloggs Impala. It would be a huge upgrade over Casey Mears. It would provide Earnhardt with a decent teammate in the shop. Ragan is a future superstar.

Jun 24, 2008 at 2:20 PMI think Roush should keep everyone but Jamie Mcmurray. I would really like David Ragan to stay with Roush, especially since they need to give him a chance, and with a potential spot in the chase, Ragan can do really well there. as far as what Eric said about having Ragan at Hendrick, he is just going to be like Casey Mears and in the shadows of Gordon, Johnson, and Earnhardt.
