NASCAR has been looking to add a fourth manufacturer alongside Chevrolet, Ford, and Toyota for several years but hasn’t reached the finish line yet. The sport has been in talks with Dodge and Honda in the past, but nothing has come from it. However, one reporter suggests that NASCAR might be closing in on a fourth manufacturer for the Cup Series.
On his latest podcast, The Week In IndyCar, Marshall Pruett dropped an interesting nugget about Honda, one of the NTT IndyCar Series’ manufacturers. However, it didn’t relate to IndyCar. This was strictly about NASCAR.
‘”If you’re a Honda fan and you like NASCAR, you’re probably going to be really happy here in the future,” Pruett said.
That is a massive quote from Pruett as NASCAR continues to chase Honda. This seems to suggest that Honda could look to join NASCAR in the next couple of years. The sport is on a major rise following several great decisions and it could be paying off in a significant way. However, if Honda joins NASCAR, it would be a big blow to IndyCar.
