The best
driver and crew chief in the world cannot win if the car is not properly
prepared at the shop. As crew chief, I am responsible for communicating
with the driver and making the decisions on race setups determined by
track conditions and driver input. But the real unsung heroes of Hoffman
Auto Racing are the guys that do the work at the shop and at the track.
Dan Launderville anchors the crew as the only full time employee of
Hoffman Auto Racing. He is responsible for our organization, record
keeping, maintenance, and has become quite a fabricator. Al Janson is the
most senior member of the crew having grown up with my father, Richard
Hoffman. Al takes care of the front-end assemblies, light machine work,
anything electrical, and the braking systems. Tom Hoffman, my uncle,
makes sure the
 cars are clean and looking their best before each race. He
does anything that is asked of him to make sure we get to the track! . Tim Waechter is our sponsor contact but he enjoys coming to the shop to be put
to work. He helps my father in the off season in the paint and body shop.
At the track his responsibilities include helping Dan with tire
pressures, changing tires and fueling
the car. My father, Richard, has taken over in the body shop. We do all
our bodywork in house. He takes particular pride in the appearance of the
cars and passes this pride along to the rest of the team. These are the
people who contribute so much to Hoffman Auto Racing's success.
