SCOTT HOSSFELD TO PROVIDE “MAYNARD TROYER II” CHAMPIONSHIP RING
Maynard Troyer enthusiast and historian, Scott Hossfeld of Depew, N.Y., will provide the winner of the Maynard Troyer Classic II on Friday, September 3 at Spencer Speedway in Williamson, N.Y. a unique racing winning prize. The winner will receive a championship ring designed by Hossfeld and made by Graber’s Jewelers, the official jeweler of the Race of Champions Modified Series.
The ring is a design Hossfeld worked tirelessly on with the staff at Graeber’s to create an award that will remain a keepsake of the driver for years to come in recognition of the accomplishment of winning the prestigious race. In addition to the winner of the Maynard Troyer Classic II receiving a ring, Hossfeld has made it possible for Mike Leaty, who won the first Maynard Troyer Classic in 2019 to receive his ring as part of a pre-race ceremony. The value of the ring is near $1,000.
“Maynard Troyer was one of my racing heroes,” began Hossfeld. “This is a great way for me to honor such a great man who has such a tremendous Modified racing legacy. His brand of racecars, lists of accomplishments and personality will live on forever in the sport. This such a great event and I am proud to be a part of creating a great new tradition.”
In the past Hossfeld has raced himself in vintage Troyer cars with the traditional Maynard Troyer paint schemes. More recently Hossfeld raced a Sportsman Modified that had the familiar red and white paint scheme with a chrome number six on it, in honor of Troyer.
