3-4 years ago, Honda was issued templates to build a truck for the Truck Series. They built the truck, tested it, and that's it. Nothing else has been done. With Toyota pulling the plug on F1 racing, which they've never won at, and pulling sponsorship on one of the major Japanese F1 tracks, Toyota will be staying with the one racing series they have a chance to win in. Honda has it's hands full with the IRL and motorcycle racing. So don't expect to see them anytime in the next 5 years. Unless they buy their way into the sport like Toyota did. You have better odds of getting Mercedes or BMW into NASCAR than getting Honda in it.
Honda Not Coming To NASCAR
