Maynard Troyer (born November 22, 1938 in Spencerport, New York) is a retired NASCAR Winston Cup Series driver who raced in the 1971 and the 1973 Winston Cup seasons.^[1]

Summary

Troyer achieved one top-five finish (at the 1971 Yankee 400), three top-ten finishes, and 3259.1 accumulated miles (1767 laps) of racing experience.^[1] Maynard was a runner-up for the 1971 NASCAR Rookie of the Year award (Walter Ballard won the title because he competed in more races than Troyer did). He was a competitor at the 1971 Daytona 500, on lap 9 of that race he lost control in turn two. Troyer's bright orane-red Ford hit the flat sideways at full speed and began tumbling so fast, it was almost impossible to count the number of flips. press estimates ranged from 5 to 18 flips. It was at least a dozen. Troyer was seriously hurt, but recovered to compete again in 1973. Troyer finished his career with a total amount of earnings set at $14,940 ($73,835.7 in today's money).^[1]

Troyer is also the founder of Troyer Engineering, one of the leading asphalt and dirt modified chassis builders in the Northeast.
