....No. While I have my doubts it'll be Penske(nowhere near strong enough to say it ain't happening, though), Honda is effectively a lock. We just don't know WHEN. Honda has serious interest in Prototype racing, this is very well known, and it's been just as much a shock that they don't have a DPi already as it was when Nissan came in out of the left field.

But the fact that the Honda DPi talk keeps revolving around Penske says a lot about why they're not in yet - they want to partner with a good organization, rather than something like Speedsource(whom I do feel get some undue criticism but are definitely not a prototype-level organization).
