Roush will decide in 2008 which driver gets cut to meet team number limit
With Roush Fenway Racing facing the necessity of cutting a driver from its Sprint Cup Series roster from five drivers to four by 2010, team president Geoff Smith insisted that a decision would be made in 2008 so the distraction didn’t linger on for two seasons.
Certainly, several factors have to be taken into consideration such as length of sponsor contract, length of driver contract and simply what makes the most sense for the longevity of RFR. Roush veteran and Cup champ Matt Kenseth is locked in through 2010. Dewalt, the sponsor of the No. 17, is good through 2009. And Smith made it clear last Thursday that the company was currently re-negotiating with Carl Edwards and Greg Biffle, both whose contracts expire at the end of this year.
