Howard released a statement saying, “I cannot thank Johnny Davis and Gary Keller enough for the opportunity to run a full season in the NASCAR Xfinity Series next year. What we were able to accomplish this season with limited track time was really impressive, and it just goes to show what this team is made of. I know that my crew has been working very hard since the season finale in Phoenix, and am confident that we will have a fun year. Wayne Carroll has put together some fast cars, and I will rely heavily on him as I make this jump in my career. There is a lot to look forward to heading into 2021, and I am excited to continue to learn and develop my abilities on the race track.”
Before competing in the Xfinity Series, Howard competed in three races in the CARS Late Model Stock Tour with one top-ten finish in 2016. He then competed in the ARCA Menards Series in two races in 2018 and again in 2019. In four races, he finished in the top-ten four times. In 2019, Howard made his Camping World Truck Series debut competing in two races with an average finish of 22.5.
The 2021 NASCAR Xfinity Series season starts on Saturday, February 13th, at Daytona International Speedway.
