Honda racing officials haven't said anything officially about a NASCAR effort, but the company's debut of a pickup truck at last week's Detroit auto show has sparked considerable interest. The Honda Ridgeline truck will be for sale this spring, as a 2006 model, with the company expecting to sell about 50,000 this year. The pickup will be built at Honda's plant in Ontario, Canada, and will have a 3.5-liter V-6 engine. NASCAR's new common-template rules would make it easy for Honda to put the machine in NASCAR's trucks series, if Honda comes up with a NASCAR-legal V-8.

Can you say Avalanche[&:]

 

Why is it that Japanesse trucks are so butt ugly? I suppose NASCAR will allow Honda to create a v-8 like they did Toyota. If this crap keep occurring, Dodge should be allowed to run the Hemi.

Damn Straight Todd.

 

they should ether keep that sh*t out of nascar or let dodge run the 528 hemi

 

I don't think Nissan or Honda should be in NASCAR... at any level. GM, Ford and Chrysler. That's it. Always.

Mopar Rules and everything else sucks.

I guess you are ok with Toyota.
