A couple of weeks ago, before the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte, it was announced that Nationwide Series driver and 2011 Daytona 500 winner Trevor Bayne will be driving full-time with Roush Fenway Racing starting in 2015, and that the team will be bringing back the #6 car made famous by Mark Martin. Bayne has driven the Wood Brothers' #21 car part-time in Cup since late 2010.
However, Roush is probably remaining a three-car team next year instead of expanding back to four cars, and the #16 car of Greg Biffle or #99 of Carl Edwards might be shut down. It has been speculated since late last season that 2014 might be both drivers' last year at Roush. Biffle and Edwards have spent their entire Cup careers at Roush, with the exception of a few starts by Biffle in 2002 with Andy Petree and Richard Petty.
The latest rumors were that Edwards was either heading to a fourth car at Joe Gibbs Racing or a third Team Penske car, while Biffle was going to Michael Waltrip Racing. However, nothing has been confirmed, and now the word is that Biffle might actually be staying at Roush next year. Whatever ends up happening, this is a big story in NASCAR right now.
