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!

MICHIGAN -- Looks like Denny Hamlin is the guy to beat this week with four of our Predictors looking for him to win. Although, it might be kind of fun to see Ty Gibbs or William Byron get the win to get Steve or Rick into the win column.

Standings are based on the number of wins with points breaking any ties. The top 3 transfer to the Chase Segment.

Michigan Predictions 

  1. Len Pouncey - 1 win, 62 points - Denny Hamlin - Two wins and nine top 10s YTD. First and third in prior three Michigan races. Dominated last week, coming from last.
  2. Cathe Rezendes - 1 win, 62 points - Denny Hamlin - Three top 10s in the past four Michigan races and a 2025 win. Averages 2.7 at similar 2026 tracks. On a roll!!
  3. Steve Poplarski - 0 wins, 37 points - Ty Gibbs - Gibbs Racing Toyotas have been dominant this year with Ty leading all drivers at Michigan with an average finish of 6.8.
  4. Jason Woodsford - 0 wins, 37 points - Denny Hamlin - Finished in the top 3 in three of the last four races. With elite speed rankings at high-speed tracks, he is bound to win.
  5. Rick Almeida - 0 wins, 23 points - William Byron - Had the fastest lap and dominated the race leading 98 laps in 2025. Has two top 2 finishes in the last five races here.
  6. Ken Ronk - 0 wins, 23 points - Denny Hamlin - Coming off last week's win, his momentum will continue. Last year's winner with the Toyota’s dominating, three cars in the top four positions.
