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!
  

PIT CREW WANTED! Help Us Drive the Future of Racing at Camp Villages!

Bob Woodsford is back in the driver's seat for the annual Camp Villages R/C Racing Extravaganza, and he's looking for a world-class crew!

  • Where: La Hacienda Recreation Center (1200 Avenida Central)

  • When: Thursday, July 16 | Track setup is at 9:15 a.m. | Green Flag drops at 10:00 a.m. | Finish line about 1:00 p.m.

  • The Mission: Help us set up the track and mentor roughly 18 young speedsters as they navigate the course.

Bob needs helpers across the board, but we are specifically looking to recruit TWO Scorekeepers to keep track of the racing action!

This year's event is extra special: both the R/C cars and the brand-new 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-place podium trophies will feature our official club logo. It's going to look amazing!

Sign up today: Call Bob at 352-430-5249 to register as a volunteer. If he misses your call due to his phone's SPAM filter, just leave a message and he'll lock you in.

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

 

Charlotte -- This is it ... the last race of the Spring Segment. While Craig remains in this competition only for pride, a top three finish is still a possibility for the rest of the guys, although perhaps very slim for Bob and Larry. Four of our Predictors still have a shot at a first place finish!

Let's see what happens. 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.

 Charlotte Predictions

  1. Pete Zaagman - 3 wins, 418 points - Ross Chastain - His run from the back of the field last year was legendary. His confidence will take him to victory lane.
  2. Bob Patterson - 3 wins, 414 points - Tyler Reddick - First NASCAR driver to win the opening three races. Five wins so far this year. He's hot and not likely to cool down.
  3. Jim Rezendes - 2 wins, 486 points - Denny Hamlin - Most points at three similar tracks.  Long race: takes care of equipment and pit crew ranks sixth. Coming off a dominant run at Dover.
  4. Larry Palermini - 2 wins, 361 points - Connor Zilisch - At the All-Star Race, this aggressive rookie overcame a pit stop penalty, passed most of the field, and finished fifth.
  5. Bob Woodsford - 1 win, 335 points - Kyle Larson - The two-time NASCAR Cup Champion is winless in 2026. He does have two previous wins here. Not attempting the "double" this year.
  6. Craig Simundza - 0 wins, 405 points - Denny Hamlin - With three poles and one win in 34 starts here and coming off the All-Star win, his #11 Camry will be in the winner's circle.
