Welcome to The Villages Motor Racing Fan Club website!
SHARING INTERESTS IN ALL FORMS OF MOTOR RACING
You are cordially invited to view the pages in our site, all of which have been designed to keep our members and interested parties up-to-speed (pun intended!) on who we are and what we do.
Our club is open to all Villages residents. Collectively, we are dedicated to providing a forum to share common interests in ALL forms of motor racing.
Besides many of us being NASCAR fans, we are equally interested in the local racing venues so prevalent here in Florida. The classes we watch range from Super Late Models to Go-Karts, NHRA dragsters, and motorcycles. The tracks we have been known to visit range from the 2.5-mile, high-banked asphalt Daytona International Speedway to the 1/4-mile, flat dirt Marion County Speedway.
There are several ways for you to stay in touch with us:

Next Meeting - Dec. 4
Our next meeting is on Wednesday, Dec. 4 at Colony Cottage Recreation Center, going green at 7 p.m.
Our guest speaker will be Lenny Batycki, a renowned reporter for Performance Racing Network (PRN), who has spent decades capturing the thrill of motorsports and sharing it with millions of fans.
Known for his engaging storytelling and deep knowledge of the racing world, Lenny has become a staple voice in NASCAR. He's covered iconic events like the Daytona 500 and Brickyard 400, bringing unparalleled insight and enthusiasm to every broadcast. His skillful interviews with drivers, teams, and crew members offer listeners a behind-the-scenes look at the sport.
Beyond race-day coverage, Batycki's commitment to the sport extends into grassroots racing, where he has supported local tracks and emerging talent.
Through his work, Lenny has built a legacy of connecting the racing community and celebrating the passion that drives motorsports forward. For Lenny Batycki, it's not just about the race – it's about telling the stories that fuel it.
