Jay Howard forms new team

The newly formed Screaming Talent-Gillard team, owned by 2006 Indy Pro Series champion and karting tuner Jay Howard, will enter the Snap-on Stars of Karting presented by the IndyCar Series season as a series sponsor with contingency prizes up for grabs. Howard saw the program as a way to kick off his involvement as a team owner.

“2007 is going to be a really exciting year for Screaming Talent," said Howard, who won the Indy Pro Series championship in his first year in a Sam Schmidt Motorsports-prepared car. “I’m confident that we will have a very successful year ahead of us, with the combination of a great driver lineup, my father (Paul) alongside me, and of course world championship-winning Gillard karts."
