Greg Biffle's future with car owner Jack Roush has been up for debate the last year or so, and the run-in with Busch didn't make things any smoother. This is the last year of Biffle's contract with Roush and car owner Richard Childress has had his eyes on him, according to sources. Biffle, though, preferred not to talk about 2005: "At this time I can't really talk about it. I'd rather not discuss what we've got going right now. All that contractural stuff and what's going on, we're working on it. As soon as we get all of our differences ironed out, I'm sure we'll be more than happy to talk about it." According to insiders, the relationship between Biffle and Busch has not been good for quite a while. Biffle last Saturday did not seem pleased that Roush gave Busch a much stronger engine, one of Ford's new D models. Yesterday Biffle shrugged off the engine situation: "It doesn't matter to me. I was just making a wisecrack when I didn't get one for the Winston. It really doesn't affect me how they distribute the engines."(Winston Salem Journal)
AND Greg Biffle didn't offer too much to dispel recent rumors that he may be looking to leave Roush Racing at some point after the 2004 season. After winning the pole Friday for Saturday's Carquest 300 at Lowe's Motor Speedway, Biffle fielded some questions regarding garage area speculation he may end up with another team. Asked what he could say about his future with Roush Racing, Biffle replied: "At this time I can't really talk about it. I wish I could, but right now I'd rather not discuss what we've got going right now." Biffle did make clear there was no chance he would leave the Roush organization before the end of the season. "No, there's not a possibility for that at all," he said.(ThatsRacin.com)(5-29-2004)
