HOMESTEAD, Fla. - Roush Racing has settled on three full-time Busch teams and three full-time truck teams for 2007, with the possibility of an additional part-time Busch team, team president Geoff Smith said Saturday.

David Ragan and Carl Edwards will run the entire schedule, Smith confirmed. Todd Kluever and Greg Biffle will share the season in another car, as previously announced. Jamie McMurray will drive for Brewco Motorsports, splitting the schedule with Biffle.

Roush Racing is exploring fielding one more Busch car, and Michel Jourdain also could end up in a Busch Series ride.

As of now, rookie Danny O'Quinn will not have a ride.

"The best we're able to do for him right now is to have him in the loop, like Todd Kluever, for a part-time ride," Smith said. "We are not settled with him at all right now. ... He's the man out right now. We hope it doesn't end up that way."

As for the trucks, Smith said the plan is to go with Travis Kvapil, Erik Darnell and development driver Peter Shepherd for the three Roush teams.

Mentioned Drivers: Carl Edwards
