Changes in the Horizon for Roush Fenway |
Two cars would give the team a better chance to to work with one another and it is one less car to float information back and forth to. I truly believe that might be the way to go if you look at how Team Penske has been doing it the last few years. Bayne and Stenhouse back in the then Nationwide Series had a good working core chemistry to find the right setups in their race cars from 2010-2011, when the two were competing for RFR full-time in the series then. Stenhouse won back to back championships in the series in 2011-2012.
Many expected after Ryan Reed ran the race at Talladega last weekend that Roush Fenway would be bringing back the 99 car next season. However, his sponsor Lilly Diabetes announced that they would be returning to sponsor Reed in the NASCAR Xfinity Series next season. Rumors are going around that Chris Buescher will return to the No. 34 Front Row Motorsports car for 2017.
I am sure there are going to be some people who disagree with me on what you are about to read but it is my opinion. I think Greg Biffle going on might be a good thing for this organization in several ways. Biffle is 46 years old and that is a big difference mark in Bayne and Stenhouse who are 25 and 29, so here is where people will likely disagree with me. I think the difference in age has been a hold back for Roush Fenway in a way. Biffle has been the main driver the team has gone to the past two seasons to put data for the direction they need to go. His age differential and driving style are much different than the two younger drivers.
So now if Roush does go to the two car system it will be a little easier to direct the team in the direction they need to go. We will see in the coming weeks when the team makes their announcements what will happen.

I value your opinion Scott, you have much more inside information with Rousch as well as being part of the organization for so long. I just hope every thing works out for Trevor in the long run, he's my major concern, he so deserves to shine and show his talent amidst all the dirty rumors that have gone around in the past. Also Chris Buscher, hope it works out for him also. Ricky, I'm not too sure of his relationship with Trevor though now since Danica came into his life and she has said a lot of very nasty things about Trevor. Before that Trevor and Ricky were great Christian friends.
