Jay Howard (born February 16, 1981) is an English race car driver from Basildon. He was the 2005 U.S. Formula Ford Zetec champion and moved up the Indy Pro Series where he captured two wins on his way to the 2006 championship for Sam Schmidt Motorsports in his rookie season. He made three starts for SpeedWorks at the beginning of the 2007 season, but was inactive for the rest of the year.
Roth Racing announced on November 26, 2007 that they had signed Jay Howard to drive their second car for the 2008 IndyCar Series season.[1]
Due to sponsorship reasons, Howard was replaced in the 24 Roth Racing entry by John Andretti for the 2008 Indianapolis 500. This was originally announced as a one race arrangement, meaning Howard would be back for the Milwaukee race. However, on May 30 it was announced that Andretti would continue in the #24 car in the Milwaukee Mile and Texas Motor Speedway races.[2]
