Honda pulling out of F1, who's next?

Speaking on NASCAR. I don't think any manufacturer accept Toyota is having anything to do with the truck series anymore...which I think is rather funny. I bet they will say "fuck this redneck shit" and quit wasting money on it before too long as well. As for the Sprint Cup I guess it just rests on the bailout. But I think the big 3 should be required to cut spending on things like that as part of the bridge loan plan. Once the economy rebounds and things get better we can start spending money on that crap again. When you think about it from an economics point of view, auto racing is a very wasteful enterprise. All the fuel that is wasted, man hours spent, machinery that requires maintenance, not to mention all the pollution that is created. All this to watch a car go around an oval for 500 laps and listen to rednecks talk about tire wear...you can do that shit down at the Jiffy Lube. [/rant]

All of which is still cheaper than buying advertising time on prime time TV from what I've heard.
