Is Honda joining NASCAR??

What started as just a hopeful rumor is shaping up to be a great possibility. It’s no secret that NASCAR is in need of a fourth manufacturer, and we’ve heard the chatter in the past on Honda being a contender.

What makes this time any different? Marshall Pruett. The renowned, connected, and highly respected veteran motorsport reporter / podcaster mentioned, “if you’re a Honda fan and you like NASCAR, you’re probably going to be really happy in the future”.

This comment comes after NASCAR COO Steve O’Donnell admitted to talks “heating up” in regards to a fourth manufacturer, and Honda & Acura Motorsports Manager Chuck Schifsky saying “we need to investigate all forms of motorsport here in the U.S.”.

The 2025 Honda Pilot : Black Edition

The largest and most powerful 3-row SUV in Honda history is now available in the top-of-the-line exclusive Black Edition.

The AWD Black Edition comes with:

• Gloss Black 20-inch alloy wheels

• Gloss Black grille bar and upper side mirror housings

• Blackout treatments for the front fascia ducts, window trim, and door garnishes and rear bumper garnish.

Inside, the Black Edition has exclusive dark red-accented perforated leather seating, contrast stitching, and accent lighting.

Did I mention the Black Edition logos embossed on the front seats and floor mats, plus Black Edition badges on the grille and tailgate??

Rumor has it, Classic Honda has one single Black Edition available… hurry and schedule your test drive before someone else does!

This Ohio Band Fit Their Whole Set-Up in a CR-V

We already know that the CR-V can fit 28,333 bananas (check out our past issues here), but what else can it fit? Let’s ask Telehope!

This upbeat indie hope-core band made the 17-hour trek from Cincinnati to Tampa in a CR-V. Telehope fit all their gear (drum set, guitar, saxophone, sound system, and more), personal belongings, and tall selves comfortably in the CR-V!

If you missed Telehope while they were in Florida, you can still jam out to their tunes anywhere you listen to music. My personal fav and recommendation is ‘Can’t Stop Thinking of You’.
