Honda pulls out of Formula One Racing
#46
Agree on all racing now adays.
I think grassroots racing should make a big comeback.
Nascar should be stock cars with stock based engines period. It would make the sport more fun and I also think you'd see more Mustangs, Camaros, etc...

Honda maintains it is withdrawing because of tough economic times: "the current economic conditions led us to take this action," plausible given the factory's recent withdrawal from Formula One auto racing.

Yikes! Didn't see that one coming, as I suspect that AMA SB is relatively cheap by comparison. I suspect that this has more to do with other, non-financial issues:
So, will Honda still be the headline sponsor of the Daytona 200?
It may be a factor, but an unmentioned element is the conflict with DMG. The proposed rules changed the game too much for the OEMs' liking, so in September, the Japanese manufacturers announced their own Superbike series, US Superbike. The USSB, an offshoot of the Motorcycle Industry Council, still has yet to announce any race dates or venues for 2009.
