Ryan Blaney reportedly to drive for Wood Brothers in 2015
Have the Wood Brothers found their replacement for Trevor Bayne in 2015?
Motorsport.com reports that Ryan Blaney will run for the team next season on a limited basis and it will have a technical alliance with Team Penske. Blaney is a developmental driver for Penske. Currently, Wood Brothers Racing has an alliance with Roush Fenway Racing.
Bayne has driven for the team since 2010. He won the 2011 Daytona 500 and has run parts of five seasons with the team. The Wood Brothers currently do not run a full season. Bayne has run eight of the 20 Sprint Cup races this season. In 2015, he's moving up to the Sprint Cup Series with Roush, where he'll drive the No. 6 full-time. Bayne currently drives for Roush in the Nationwide Series.
Blaney is the points leader in the Camping World Truck Series and has driven part time for Penske in the Nationwide Series, winning last year at Kentucky. He made his Sprint Cup Series debut earlier this season for Penske at Kansas Speedway.
However, with Penske at two cars and Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski established in the team's two cars, there's no room for him at the moment in the Cup Series. Keselowski is Blaney's team owner in the Cup Series.

Greg Biffle says no deal is done for an extension at Roush Fenway Racing
Greg Biffle said a contract extension with Roush Fenway Racing is not finalized.
Earlier in June, the Charlotte Observer reported that Biffle would sign a contract extension with the team and an official announcement could come as early as the week after the June 8 report. That hasn't obviously happened.
Biffle spoke about his contract with the AP on Friday at Sonoma.
Roush President Steve Newmark alo said that the two parties hadn't agreed to anything officially yet.
If Biffle stays at Roush Fenway, sponsor 3M is expected to stay with the team too.The team has Trevor Bayne and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. signed for next season in the Cup Series, but the contracts of Biffle and Carl Edwards are up after the season. Edwards has given no indication of his future plans.
After winning titles in the Camping World Truck Series and Nationwide Series, Biffle moved up to the Sprint Cup Series full-time in 2003 and Roush is the only team he's driven for. He has 19 Cup Series wins, though he hasn't been very close this season. While Biffle has been consistent in 2014, Roush has lacked speed. Through 15 races, he has just four top-10 finishes.

The latest from Germany
The reports that Bernie Ecclestone is offering $33 million to settle the criminal trial in Germany are just plain weird. There have long been rumours that Ecclestone was looking for a financial settlement, but it has always looked to be rather unlikely. A fine is OK for a parking offence, but only a politician could […]
