Howard returns

After a five race absence, Jay Howard will return to behind the wheel of the 24 Roth Racing machine in the Indycar Series. Howard sat the last five rounds out while John Andretti drove the car. The team stated that Andretti's wealth of experience was needed for conquering the oval tracks, but since most of the final races are road courses Howard would have enough expeience to get through the final few rounds.

"To say I'm happy to get back in the car is an understatement," said Howard. "It's hard to describe the feeling when I'm on the sidelines watching.

"I'm only looking forward now and I'm going to go out and do what I do best and try to get a good result for the team."

John Andretti to get two more races with Roth

John Andretti will get a couple more opportunities in the Indycar Series with Roth Racing. Andretti who finished 16th in last week's Indy 500, will drive the car this weekend at Milwaukee and next Saturday night at Texas.

Not that I don't hate John or anything, but what of Jay Howard? The young English driver put in some good top 15 finishes earlier this year and now he is sitting out in favor of a driver who can bring sponsorship for the team. If Marty Roth had any smarts he would take himself out of the car since I don't know he couldn't drive one to save his life?
