Time at current job: I’m in my 11th year. That’s done at a pre-set higher rpm to match the engine speed on the racetrack. When you hear the engine rev to a high rpm we are checking the ignition timing. You are listening for mechanical complications or an improperly running engine. On what he’s listening to in the engine: For a prerace or a prepractice warmup, we are checking the overall engine systems - electrical, water, oil, fuel and ignition systems so there’s a process there where we’re checking for proper pressures and flows and proper carburetor and fuel system operation.
I started going to the track supporting the engines at an early age and always enjoyed racing and the competitive aspect of it.

How he got into engine tuning: I worked at Butler & Mac Master Automotive in Maine during high school, and we were building performance and racing engines at that time. We tune and prepare the engines and engine systems for the race, take the information that we gather from the racetrack and bring it back to the engine department and vice versa so there is communication going both ways. Job duties: We have an engine tuner that provides complete support for each team and I work with that group. High School: Gardiner High School in Gardiner, Maine. Maxim travels to the racetrack each weekend and oversees the efforts of 11 engine tuners who work with Hendrick Motorsports and the teams that lease its engines in the NASCAR Sprint Cup and Nationwide series.
