SONOMA, Calif. - Roush Racing has not talked with UPS about sponsoring one of its cars next season, a team official said Friday.

With UPS still not under contract for 2007, several teams have been mentioned as candidates for the sponsor if it opts not to stay with Robert Yates Racing. Roush Racing and its No. 16 Nextel Cup car with driver Greg Biffle have been rumored as a possible destination for UPS.

"I don't know where the rumors are coming from," said Torrey Galida, senior vice president for marketing at Roush Racing, prior to Nextel Cup practice at Infineon Raceway Friday. "We have not spoken."

Roush and RYR develop engines together, and Roush-Yates engines power all of the Fords in the garage.

"We have a pretty firm understanding with Robert Yates that we would not engage one another's sponsors," Galida said.

Galida said Roush Racing has all of its sponsorships solidified for next season except for the National Guard, which is on a year-to-year contract on

Biffle's car. He said the National Guard is a full-season deal, but the National Guard sells off some of the races to other companies.

Mentioned Drivers: Greg Biffle
