There is no set number. Sometimes Nascar can go many years without a fatality.

Will Honda ever get into NASCAR?

The other teams certainly hope not. When Honda enters a racing series, they do it to win. Look at the IRL: the first year Honda was in the series as an engine supplier, the first seven cars, and nine out of the first ten, were all Honda-powered. If they entered NASCAR, it would be with the Accord. This would bring NASCAR, in many ways, back to the original idea that people could go to the race to see their own cars racing; a lot of people drive Accords.
