Acura will expand its involvement in IndyCar by sponsoring a car in the 2025 Indianapolis 500, marking a heightened presence in the open-wheel racing series. The move aligns with a broader strategic shift by Honda Racing USA to reevaluate its motorsports programs.

At the same time, Acura has announced it will pause its factory-backed IMSA sports car racing effort after the 2026 season. The decision reflects a realignment of priorities within Honda Racing USA, though the brand will continue to support select racing initiatives beyond the pause.
