2010 IndyCar Series
While Howard was announced in late 2009 with SFR for four events (Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Texas Motor Speedway, ChicagoLand Speedway, Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course), on March 1 SFR announced that they would add the Kansas Speedway event to Howard's 2010 campaign.
On April 14, Howard joined team owner Fisher when he was the first entrant for the 2010 Indianapolis 500, while celebrating the 100th anniversary of English drivers competing at the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
On April 21, Howard unveiled the 2010 paint scheme for his No. 66 Service central entry at Kansas Speedway during a private test.
On May 23, Howard had qualified for the 94th running of the Indianapolis 500. With just minutes left before the gun would fire to signal the 33-car field, Howard's entry was withdrawn due to pressure from next in queue, veteran driver Paul Tracy. Howard failed to show sufficient speed to qualify and missed the race.
On Aug. 28, Howard competed in his last race with SFR, fulfilling his contract with the team.
On October 10, Howard won the RoboPong 200 all-star kart race at the New Castle Motorsports Park along with teammate Bill McLaughlin, Jr., beating such notable drivers as Will Power and Graham Rahal, among others.

Famous quotes containing the word series:
“Depression moods lead, almost invariably, to accidents. But, when they occur, our mood changes again, since the accident shows we can draw the world in our wake, and that we still retain some degree of power even when our spirits are low. A series of accidents creates a positively light-hearted state, out of consideration for this strange power.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
