As with all teams at this time of year, Roush Fenway Racing is sharing the same level of excitement for the upcoming season that is flowing throughout the NASCAR community. But, coming off one of the more disappointing Sprint Cup Series seasons in recent memory, Roush Fenway Racing revealed a certain level of confidence and optimism throughout its organization on Ford Wednesday. And should those convictions spill over onto the track, RFR just might find itself competing for a championship.

“We, as an organization, were trending in the right direction at the end of last season,” said veteran driver Greg Biffle, who is looking to become the first driver in NASCAR history to win all three national touring championships. “Everyone is on a mission to make our cars better, faster. There’s a great energy right now.”

Biffle is the most experienced of Roush Fenway’s drivers. Ricky Stenhouse and Trevor Bayne are entering their fourth and second full-time seasons, respectively, while 2015 XFINITY Series champion Chris Buescher will enter his rookie season in the Sprint Cup Series driving as part of an enhanced technical alliance between Front Row Motorsports and Roush Fenway Racing. Ryan Reed and Bubba Wallace will vie for the XFINITY Series title.

“I won’t have a chance to defend that (XFINITY) title, but we’ve got a great bunch of people and a lot of good things happening here,” Buescher said. “We’re going to go out and run as well as we can, learn every week, and try to earn a spot in the Chase and win that Rookie of the Year title.”
