Colby Howard

Howard made 21 starts last season in the JD Motorsports No. 15 Chevrolet. He would earn just four Top-20 finishes. No plans have been announced for either Howard nor the No. 15 JDM team. It's likely that Hoard could be back in some capacity with them again in 2022.

The 19-year-old prospect got his first taste of Xfinity Series action in 2020. Howard piloted the JDM No. 15 Chevrolet in 22 of the 33 events last season. The results were a pleasant surprise with Howard claiming two Top-15 and seven Top-20 finishes across that limited schedule. He shared the car with Jesse Little, Jeffrey Earnhardt and other drivers last year. Howard will get the full plate of 33-starts in 2021 and look to improve this team's performance. JDM has decent resources and personnel at their shop, so Howard should have every opportunity to nudge this team forward in season two. The young driver will need to develop chemistry with new crew chief, Wayne Carroll, quickly in order to make this growth potential possible.

Signed with JD Motorsports in January 2020 to race a part-time schedule in the upcoming season in the Gander Truck Series. The 18-year-old driver has very limited experience and will likely only race in a handful of starts for JDM.
