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!
  

Our next meeting is on September 2 at Colony Cottage Recreation Center, going green at 7 p.m.

Join us as we welcome 16-year-old rising star Sarah Bradley.

Sarah got her start behind the wheel at just 5 years old, spending a decade honing her skills in go-karts. After securing back-to-back North Texas Karting Kid Kart championships (2016 & 2017), she sharpened her racing skills season after season. Ultimately Sarah earned a runner-up finish in the 2023 SuperKarts USA Winter Tour.

Since transitioning to Dirt Legends in late 2025, Sarah has already made her mark on the track, driving to a feature race victory at Marion County Speedway in March and taking home a runner-up finish at the Dirt Legends of the South feature at Needmore Speedway in Georgia on August 8.

Don't miss the chance to hear from one of the region's top young racing talents!

Meetings are open only to club members, but Villages residents are welcome to join at the door. Click Here for more membership information.

Daytona -- It looks like if Blaney wins, Len and Cathe move on to the final round. The third spot could be up for grabs between Steve and Jason depending upon where Hamlin finishes.

Ken and Rick just showed up this week for the fun of it. Good luck to everyone. It's been a fun 12 weeks. 

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

Daytona Predictions

  1. Len Pouncey - 5 wins, 579 points - Ryan Blaney - Prior winner with elite drafting skills. Consistent top 8 finishes at Daytona.  2nd in points with 3 wins and 17 top 10s.
  2. Cathe Rezendes - 4 wins, 502 points - Ryan Blaney - Nascar rule changes for this race emulate Atlanta.  He dominated and won there in July.  And he is one scrappy driver!
  3. Steve Poplarski - 4 wins, 495 points - Denny Hamlin - He cinched #1 spot in the regular season, no worries about being aggressive, nothing to lose at this unpredictable track.
  4. Jason Woodsford - 3 wins, 467 points - - Ryan Blaney - He is a strong pick this weekend—he's a two-time Coke Zero Sugar 400 winner with two recent top-three finishes.
  5. Ken Ronk - 2 wins, 371 points - Ryan Blaney - Last week's winner plans on continuing this week. With 3 wins this season he wants to continue strong into the championship run.
  6. Rick Almeida - 1 win, 365 points - Joey Logano - He won this year's Dual 1and 3rd place in the 500 race in February. The 2nd highest driver rating here with a 96.5 average.
