Honda in NASCAR? Rumors, Talks, and What We Know So Far

Well, let me tell ya, folks been jabberin’ about Honda gettin’ into NASCAR. I heard some fellers talkin’ down at the store, sayin’ it might happen, might not. Like that time ol’ Jeb said he was gonna fix his roof, ended up with a bigger hole, ya know?

Seems like some big shot, Kevin Harvick, he’s all for it. Says it’d be good for the racin’ and all. I reckon he knows a thing or two, seein’ as he’s been around them fast cars for a while. Kinda like how Ma knew her chickens better than anyone else.

Honda in NASCAR? Rumors, Talks, and What We Know So Far

Now, they’re sayin’ NASCAR wants another car maker in the mix. Right now, it’s just Chevy, Ford, and that Toyota from Japan. Adding another one, like Honda, well, that’d spice things up a bit, wouldn’t it? Like addin’ a pinch of cayenne pepper to my stew.

More cars, more racin’, more fun, I guess.
More drivers might get a chance too. Good for them young’uns lookin’ to make a name for themselves.

But hold your horses, it ain’t happenin’ tomorrow. They’re talkin’ maybe 2026, or even later. NASCAR’s gotta work things out with Honda, get them cars all figured out. It’s like plantin’ a garden; you don’t just throw seeds and expect tomatoes the next day. You gotta water ’em, tend to ’em, and wait.

Heard tell they gotta get the car bodies right. NASCAR’s got rules, ya know? Can’t just slap any ol’ thing on a car and call it racin’. They gotta make sure it’s safe and fair. Like how Ma always made sure we had enough biscuits for everyone, no shortchangin’ nobody.

Folks been talkin’ ’bout Honda and NASCAR for years now. Remember that Dodge they used to race? Gone now. So, you never know till it’s done. Kinda like waitin’ for rain in the summer, sometimes it comes, sometimes it don’t.

If Honda does come in, that’d be somethin’ to see. Another car to cheer for, or boo, dependin’ on who you like. It’s like pickin’ a favorite horse at the county fair, ya know? You got your reasons, and nobody can tell you different.

They say Honda was thinkin’ about it back in 2019, before they changed them race cars. But then they kinda backed off. Maybe they weren’t ready, maybe somethin’ else came up. Like that time Pa almost bought a new tractor, then the well went dry.

Now, with these new cars they got, maybe Honda’s takin’ another look. They call ’em “Next Gen” cars, fancy, ain’t it? I reckon they go faster, handle better. Like tradin’ in your old mule for a shiny new pickup truck.

So, will Honda join NASCAR? I ain’t got a crystal ball, can’t say for sure. But it sure would be excitin’. More racin’, more noise, more fun for everyone. Just gotta wait and see, like waitin’ for the kettle to boil. It’ll happen when it happens.

One thing’s for sure, them NASCAR fellas know what they’re doin’. They wouldn’t bring Honda in unless it was gonna be good for the racin’. They want them stands full, fans cheerin’, and sponsors happy. Just like how we want a good harvest every year, makes everyone happy.

So, keep your ears open, folks. Listen to the rumblin’ engines and the whispers in the wind. Maybe someday soon, you’ll see a Honda racin’ alongside them Chevys, Fords, and Toyotas. And maybe, just maybe, it’ll be one heck of a show.
