NASCAR WCUP: Peter Guild brings business principles and NASCAR under one roof

24 June 1999

Pro-Motor Engineerings (PME) Peter Guild has brought together the business principles of IBM and the raw determination of NASCAR under one roof.

With more than 25 years of engine-building experience in the most competitive levels of stock car racing, road racing, drag racing and off-shore powerboat racing, Guild strives to make his company more competitive and more efficient than even the largest engine-building programs in NASCAR. In an age when many teams build their own engines, Guild believes his work ethic sets PME apart from the larger, in-house engine programs of multi-car race teams.

"Working at IBM for five years taught me how to organize my corporation, set goals, be accessible to my clients and analyze past performance for future improvement," said Guild. "I applied IBMs big business concepts but shrunk them for a small business."

PMEs NASCAR Winston Cup statistics from 1992 to present include 13 wins, eight pole positions, 64 top-five and 120 top-10 finishes. PME, one of two independent engine-building companies in NASCAR, currently supplies engines to three NASCAR Winston Cup teams and one NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series team.
