I doubt Burger King would sponsor another team with BK Racing in the sport (Even if they don't officially back them)
Also, this is a brand new sponsor for Biffle. I'm thinking it's Dairy Queen

I'm thinking Outback Steakhouse.

I'm thinking we'll probably never guess it correctly, so we should just wait for the announcement.

It's Arris, or at least it will be for seventeen races:

We're talking about Greg Biffle, not Carl Edwards.

Um not sure what you're talking about Kenseth has shown that with or without wins the car is so much better on weekends the most others that it gives him the ability to sit as high up in the points as he currently does. Busch tends to have the worst luck of the JGR drivers and up until last year Hamlin was doing what Kenseth did but with a win or two in there.
Point is this is vast improvement, a lateral move would have been from RFR to RCR which is only somewhat better.
It's not JGR's fault that their two rising stars that never won the cup but were the likely candidates of various years, have been lackluster this year while their new team mate is doing what he couldn't ever dream of in the past few years at RFR. Edwards who is just as good as Matt (as the stats show third all time driver behind Matt and Martin currently), probably saw this as the best viable option and will probably do as well as Matt in the next couple years.
He may be in the chase now, but the point is the RFR cars heavily lack consistency and many times don't have enough drive to get the wins that hurt Edwards out of a 2011 championship.
I'm curious if your Toyota dislike plays into the comments
It's no secret JGR and Toyota's in general are struggling this year. Their engine package is off. Haven't found the balance between power/reliability.
I'm not surprised you missed my point. I guess you didn't notice that was a reply to @Jahgee1124's comment that RFR only had one car in contention, when they currently have two.

TRD is about to introduce new engines. I'm pretty sure I saw a tweet from JGR in the past two days saying they had new cars/chassis/engines all coming down in time for the Chase, but I can't find it now.

That looks like a semi-throwback to the original Jack Roush #16 car, driven by Ted Musgrave.

They didn't show off Carl's new car, but here is Daniel Suarez's. Not much to get from it, other than it being orange.
So the 18 is back full time. Any expectations for this driver? I wouldn't say he's bad, but I'm at best expecting top 20s as I don't see him up at the front for a while.

Not sure I want that to be real though
Let's Play figure out Biffle's new sponsor
Trying to guess this is abit difficult, mostly because the creep face is burning a hole through me.

Um no I saw that, and the point I made still is valid, you were saying it was a lateral move to begin with, but it's not considering they have all three cars in either due to wins or some large margin of points that is higher than RFR's only winning car. I agree that package is a bit off, but it is no where a lateral move, it's a good leap since they're not struggling. I'd say SHR is more of a struggle than JGR even.

I'm 98.9% sure it is DQ. The shape of the logo, white text, and the color scheme that looks vaguely like their old ads confirms it for me. if not DQ, then it is Coca Cola and this could be a special. I'd stick to #1 though.Let's Play figure out Biffle's new sponsor

My point was valid. Both RFR and JGR (plus Toyota as a whole) are struggling, albeit in different areas. (Engines for JGR/Toyota, aero/balance for RFR)
Definitely not a "good leap" ahead as you say. RFR not having Stenhouse in the chase doesn't make them any worse than JGR. So yes, RFR to JGR is more of a lateral move, IMO.
SHR's issues seem to be more luck than anything. Cars for the most part have been fast, bad pit stops/cut tires/etc. take them out of contention.

If you look closely, its red with white (letters) and a very thin orange stripe.

See it I might be able to agree and then research it to see how exactly from another user, but you've been shown to have bias against Toyota because they're not a domestic make before. So you'll have to excuse me if I don't find this bias especially when you say all of Toyota.
You can do all the IMO you want, that doesn't mean your opinion can't be argued just to avoid the argument, if you want avoid it don't respond. However, since you are let's take you through the reality of this. RFR only has one winning drive this season with two wins, that is still behind their non winning driver in points who also happens to have more consistency as shown by top tens and fives. In fact his top five count is equal to both the RFR drivers in the point as of now and nearly equal to their combine top ten. The engine is there the overall package and team probably isn't just like RFR it isn't, yet the chassis and engine are good enough that the entire team has the ability to make the chase even if being the weaker group.
They're worse that JGR because of what has been seen so far in the season, that RFR are only fast enough most weekends for top 15 and weekends where they can win it they butcher it. Carl could have won his third race this season hell he was just as fast as some of the faster drivers Friday and then it all came apart on Saturday only to be made worse on Sunday with horrible team decisions and moves on pit road. That's not to say that JGR hasn't had it's issue but the minimize much better than Roush.
I can agree to some extent, Kurt has been fast but I think he's at times is his worst enemy as Michigan showed us and I think the team has hurt him along with things out side his control. Harvick has had some bad moments here and there and should be higher in the standings but after the halfway point he doesn't seem nearly as strong on average. Either way I agree half the team is fast, the other half Stewart and Patrick (for obvious reasons) isn't nearly as fast. So let's be fair and just use the three good drivers. They are far more inconsistent than Gibbs but still fast and good enough with issues to be better than RFR.
Look I'm sorry but RFR just is nor hasn't been that great, and if they were then why are drivers leaving them, why are sponsors moving on to more prosperous teams. It'd be on thing if I was making this up but I'm not and with results also being for view, that tells even more of the story especially compared to a newer yet much better Ford team.

Why are you guys so concerned with his sponsor? O.o I mean yeah it's something to look at....but is that really the most interesting thing going on in NASCAR?

I think so. To me NASCAR is only exciting on Sunday.

Not in the slightest, I think the finding out more about the Michigan test would be more interesting and see how that plans to be implemented in 2015.
