The IRL cars are what, 3.5 liters? Winston Cup motors have about twice that much displacement.

Mr. Ganassi says that he felt the future is more secure with Toyota as an engine supplier. "Comparatively speaking, Honda just doesn't have the resources that Toyota has," he says.

Too bad CART changed their rules to the 3.5l engine. Then he would have been majorly screwed. Kind of ironic.

OMG, Honda will not join Nascar. At least not the Honda I know, and at least not anytime soon. Honda has been racing for decades now, and to join Nascar would be pointless. What are they going to race, the accord coupe? bah.

The Nascar title breeds stupidity.

this is old news. first of all nascar is not a car. its a sanctioning body. winston cup, busch grand national, craftsman truck, week racing series present by dodge, winston west, and a few other series are sanctioned by Dodge. also they do not use big blocks. Chevrolet is a 358SB, and the compression is 12:1 or 12.9:1 (cant remember off the top of my head) dont knock the sport untill u actually learn more about it and watch the races a bunch of times.
