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!

 

Chicagoland -- This week there are no right turns so SVG is not favored by our Predictors. However, they do appear to like both Hamlin and Larson and for good reasons. Ken is thinking outside the box with his pick of Tyler Reddick.

This week we could end up with three, two or only one winner picker. 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.

Chicagoland Predictions

  1. Len Pouncey - 4 wins, 251 points - Denny Hamlin - Points leader with four wins and nine Top 5s YTD. Exceptional skill on intermediate distance tracks. Team has superior race cars.
  2. Cathe Rezendes - 4 wins, 251 points - Denny Hamlin - The Gen7 car has never been raced here but he has a 2.7 average on similar tracks. Recently, he's put everyone in the dust!
  3. Jason Woodsford - 3 wins, 248 points - Denny Hamlin - He is a previous winner (1 win, 3 top-5 finishes, 7 top-10s) and is the highest ranking driver this year on the intermediate tracks.
  4. Steve Poplarski - 2 wins, 189 points - Kyle Larson - At Chicagoland he holds the record for best average finish of 6.2 for all active drivers, including four top 5 finishes.
  5. Ken Ronk - 2 wins, 172 points - Tyler Reddick - After a 36th place finish last week at Sonoma, he's going to get back to his early year dominance with a win.
  6. Rick Almeida - 1 win, 139 points - Kyle Larson - Runs strong here with five top 10 finishes and the highest finishing average at 7.0. Currently fifth in driver standings, looking for a win.
