Schmidt to run Howard, Clauson and Daly

Sam Schmidt said he has an agreement to run Jay Howard at Indy in May, although the program could be farmed out to Rahal Letterman Racing.

Schmidt also expects to field Bell in the Las Vegas race, plus three full-season Indy Lights cars and a car to be shared by U.S. Auto Club champion Bryan Clauson (ovals) and Star Mazda champion Conor Daly (road/street circuits).
