It was Bobby Rahal, as team owner-driver of Rahal-Hogan Racing, who got Honda involved in CART in 1994.
They had one decent result and Honda switched to a number of teams in 1995, the most notable being Ganassi, who won the Driver's Championship four times in row, with Jimmy Vasser in '96, Alex Zanardi in '97 and '98 and Montoya in '99. Honda had further success in 2000 and 2001 with Gil de Ferran winning the Drivers Championship, though Honda didn't win the Manufacturer's Cup in 2000, Ford-Cosworth did.
