Welcome to The Villages Motor Racing Fan Club website!
SHARING INTERESTS IN ALL FORMS OF MOTOR RACING
You are cordially invited to view the pages in our site, all of which have been designed to keep our members and interested parties up-to-speed (pun intended!) on who we are and what we do.
Our club is open to all Villages residents. Collectively, we are dedicated to providing a forum to share common interests in ALL forms of motor racing.
Besides many of us being NASCAR fans, we are equally interested in the local racing venues so prevalent here in Florida. The classes we watch range from Super Late Models to Go-Karts, NHRA dragsters, and motorcycles. The tracks we have been known to visit range from the 2.5-mile, high-banked asphalt Daytona International Speedway to the 1/4-mile, flat dirt Marion County Speedway.
Prediction Row 2025
MEXICO CITY -- For all you Prediction Row fans, you have five different drivers to cheer for this weekend. So far this group is batting a thousand in their efforts to pick a winner. Let's see if they can do three in a row.
Should be fun to watch!
Standings are based on wins, with points acting as the tie breaker. The Top 3 will advance to our Playoff Segment.
Mexico City Predictions
-
Craig Simundza - 1 win 78 points - Christopher Bell - The #20 Toyota Camry won the COTA road course in March. This week, Bell rings up another road win for Joe Gibbs Racing.
-
Bill McCormick - 1 win 69 points - Shane van Gisbergen - He is a road course ace and all of his top ten finishes and wins have been on road courses.
-
Rick Kegel - 0 wins 72 points - William Byron - He has won at COTA, the road course in Texas. It should be an interesting race at this new track for NASCAR.
-
Rick Almeida - 0 wins 65 points - Tyler Reddick - Does well on similar courses when he has a good starting position. Good points standing, needs a win to lock in a playoff spot.
-
Len Pouncey - 0 wins 63 points - Christopher Bell - Fourth in points with 10 top 10 finishes. Won at Circuit of America in 2025 and placed second in 2024. Three wins this season.
-
Marty Wool - 0 wins 44 points - Chase Elliott - He leads with 7 road course wins in the past and will master the unknown Mexican track quickly and win.

Gerry Greim - Villager Backstory
Club president Gerry Greim grew up surrounded by racing, as her father was involved in sprint car racing, and she developed a lifelong passion for the sport.
Despite never pursuing racing herself, Greim had a successful nursing career, especially in hospice care, and became known as a "hospice angel" for her work with terminally ill patients.
Gerry was featured in The Villages Daily Sun because her current neighbors and friends know how she has helped encourage more female participation and speakers in the club. Nursing is her "backstory."
