I know that&#8217;s changed the dynamic of the underbody of the car and it&#8217;s been a revelation. How low is low enough and how low is too low. Too low is higher than we thought it might have been a month ago and we&#8217;re sorting that out. We&#8217;re committing to test as much as we can. We&#8217;ve got a test going somewhere virtually every week, either a tire test at a NASCAR race track &#8211; a sanctioned test &#8211; or a bootlegged race track test that&#8217;s not on the NASCAR circuit, so we&#8217;re testing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Recent speculation in the garage has suggested that Biffle and long-time sponsor 3M will return to Roush next season.
