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!

Let's make a great impression -- wear your Yellow Shirt and we'll see you in the winner's circle!

 

POCONO -- Four of our Predictors picked Denny Hamlin. Can't blame them, the man is on a hot streak. However, Ken and Ron are not following the crowd. Just for fun, let's all cheer for Chase Elliott and Ryan Blaney to win. Either way it should be fun to watch.

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

Poconos Predictions

  1. Len Pouncey - 2 wins, 120 points - Denny Hamlin - Three wins and eight top 5s YTD. He dominated the last two races, driving from last to first. Has speed for the long straights at Pocono.
  2. Cathe Rezendes - 2 wins, 120 points - Denny Hamlin - Led the most laps in the last three years at the Tricky Triangle, with an average finish of 1.67. I’ll be at Pocono to see another victory!
  3. Jason Woodsford - 1 win, 95 points - Denny Hamlin - His history this season is three wins, eight top 5, and ten top 10 finishes. He’s on a winning streak, and I believe he’ll win again in Pennsylvania.
  4. Ken Ronk - 1 win, 58 points - Chase Elliott - After running strong last week before crashing hard, he plans on increasing his win count to three this season.
  5. Steve Poplarski - 0 wins, 58 points - Denny Hamlin - His most consistent track, with eight wins including one DQ’d victory here. This, along with coming off two wins, will make him hard to beat.
  6. Rick Almeida - 0 wins, 48 points - Ryan Blaney - Has two wins and six top 5's at Pocono. Running strong this season with one win, three top 5's, ten top 10's and third in the standings.
