How long until the Big3 pull out of NASCAR?

[Boyd]

Just in the last month......

Honda shut down it's F1 team.
Honda shut down it's AMA team.
Porsche shut down it's ALMS team.
Audi shut down it's ALMS team.
Suzuki shut down it's WRC team.
Subaru shut down it's WRC team.


With the Big3 in such dire straits, why are they still spending millions on race programs in NASCAR? Especially when you consider that in the Sprint Cup series every team practically runs the same body -they just pass out new headlight and grille stickers before every race. Dealerships are virtually giving away full-size pickups, but the manufacturers are still spending millions in the NASCAR truck series.


Just doesn't make any sense to me.
