Biffle, Roush agree to extension

ESPN's David Newton reports that Greg Biffle has agreed to a three-year extension with Roush Fenway Racing.

There are still some details to be worked out, but a new deal should be made official by the time the series goes to the New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

Right now, Biffle is eighth in the standings and looking pretty good. It's definetely smart for Roush to lock him up, as he seems to have come back from a shaky 2006 and 2007. With the talent he has, he should contend each year.

If he wasn't having a good year, though, he probably wouldn't have come back. It looks like any pressure on Biffle is pretty much gone now, so it's good that this is almost out of the way.
