Originally from Plain City, OH, Maynard first came to the Rochester area looking for work in the summer of 1964. He resumed a fledgling racing career the following summer. By the time he retired from driving in 1982, he had established himself as a legend among the Motor Sports Community.

In 1977, Maynard founded a Race Car Manufacturing Firm known as Troyer Engineering. He built this into the premiere race chassis business in the Northeast. Now known as "Troyer Race Cars", it remains the standard of the industry under the tutelage of the Billy Colton.

Later in life, Maynard remained extremely active with several hobbies. He owned several offshore power boats, flew ultra light planes and enjoyed all types of radio controlled vehicles. Truly a man who lived life to the fullest.
