SFR adds Kansas to Howard’s 2010 schedule

TBC Retail Group announced its sponsorship expansion between Jay Howard and Sarah Fisher Racing to include the May 1 race at Kansas Speedway. The 2006 Firestone Indy Lights champion also will compete at Indianapolis, Texas, Mid-Ohio and Chicago in SFR's No. 66 Service Central car.

"We added this race to our schedule because of the optimism the entire SFR team demonstrated during the recent practice sessions and we think this is a great kick-off to Jay's race season," said Bob Crostarosa, Senior Vice President Marketing and Advertising, TBC Retail Group. "Jay is the driver to watch this year."

Fisher also will compete in the Road Runner Turbo Indy 300 at Kansas Speedway – the first oval race on the IZOD IndyCar Series schedule.

"TBC Retail Group has become a great marketing partner of our No. 66 program this year and to be adding Kansas is a huge plus for our 2010 efforts," said Howard, who participated in the first IZOD IndyCar Series Open Test last week at Barber Motorsports Park. "The track time at Kansas prior to heading into the Month of May for the Indianapolis 500 is huge for our growing program. I've competed at Kansas before and I'm grateful that TBC has added that to my schedule to start out the season."
