Racing career
2018 ARCA car at Madison

Howard started racing at six years old, racing dirt bikes. He raced bikes for six years until a broken leg and collarbone ended his career.[1] After that, Howard raced Bandoleros and late models before moving to full-bodied stock cars.[1]

In November 2019, he joined Young's Motorsports for the final two races of the 2019 NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series season starting with the Lucas Oil 150 at ISM Raceway.[2]

On January 9, 2020, it was announced that Howard would join JD Motorsports for 20 races in the 2020 NASCAR Xfinity Series season.[3] Howard originally planned on doing a full season in the NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series, but chose the part-time Xfinity ride as a way to get to the NASCAR Cup Series faster.[1]

Personal life

Howard is a third-generation racing driver; his grandfather earned track championships at Greenville-Pickens Speedway and his father Rodney Howard is a former NASCAR Busch Series driver.[1]
