Welcome to The Villages Motor Racing Fan Club website!
SHARING INTERESTS IN ALL FORMS OF MOTOR RACING
Curious about who we are and what keeps our engines running? Take a spin through our website -- it's built to keep both members and racing fans up-to-speed (pun fully intended!) on everything we do.
Our club is open to all Villages residents, and we're united by one passion: motor racing in every form. Whether you're a die-hard NASCAR fan, love the roar of NHRA dragsters, root for super late models on dirt and asphalt, or get a kick out of go-karts and motorcycles, you'll find fellow enthusiasts here. The photo above? Believe it or not -- that's not even half our members!
From the legendary 2.5-mile high banks of Daytona to the gritty 1/4-mile dirt of Marion County Speedway, we live and breathe the tracks that make Florida a racing hotspot.
Want to keep the excitement going? Connect with us on Facebook or through our Contacts page. We would love to welcome you into the club!

Prediction Row 2026
CIRCUIT OF THE AMERICAS -- This track will test drivers with a demanding mix of high-speed straights, tight technical corners, and heavy braking zones.
Our predictors have chosen an interesting mix of drivers. Will one or two become our first "winner picker(s)" of the season?
Standings are based on the number of wins with points breaking any ties. The top three advance to our Chase Segment.
COTA Predictions
- Craig Simundza - 0 wins, 65 points Shane van Gisbergen: He handles street races and road courses with aplomb. He will take the checkered flag for his first win at COTA.
- Pete Zaagman - 0 wins, 50 points Connor Zilisch: This Cup rookie won the Xfinity race in 2025; his pedigree is road racing. He will make history!
- Jim Rezendes - 0 wins, 43 points Shane van Gisbergen: The dominant road course racer with five straight road/street course wins in 2025. Not happy with sixth at COTA last year.
- Larry Palermini - 0 wins, 40 points Ross Chastain: He won in 2022. Finished third at Atlanta with some of the fastest lap times. Teamed with SVG for drafting.
- Bob Woodsford - 0 wins, 26 points Ross Chastain: Won his first career Cup series here in 2022 with an overtime finish. Contact with Elliott on first lap 2025.
- Bob Patterson - 0 wins, 17 points Alex Bowman: His career average finish here of 5.2 in five starts is second best among Cup drivers. Has no wins but three top 5's.
