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!
  

LAS VEGAS - Our two top Predictors think Kyle Larson is going to win this one, while our bottom three are betting on Joey Logano. And then there's our third place guy, Richard Adkins with his pick of SVG.

Let's see what happens. Should be fun to watch. 

Standings are based on the number of wins with points breaking any ties.

Las Vegas Predictions

  1. Craig Simundza - 2 wins  256 points - Kyle Larson - He consistently runs well and has won three times here.  He'll put the #5 Camaro in deep playoff mode with the win here.

  2. Bill McCormick - 2 wins  255 points - Kyle Larson - Since coming over to Hendrick in 2021, Kyle has three wins and seven top 10's at Vegas. Kyle in the winner's circle.

  3. Richard Adkins - 1 win  230 points - Shane van Gisbergen -  He won his first US oval race (Summer Shootout) in July. He can do it and maybe beat the odds in Las Vegas.

  4. Rick Kegel - 1 win  225 points - Joey Logano - This is a Shell/Pennzoil race. The Penske cars are fast here. He's won here three times including last year.

  5. Steve Poplarski - 0 wins  203 points - Joey Logano - He's a long shot, stats are against him just like last year but he is the reigning Champion. "It’s Vegas Baby!"

  6. Gerry Hafer - 0 wins  180 points - Joey Logano - He is a four-time winner here. Expect a repeat of last year's launch into the final.

Ed Ingalls, owner of TriLine Services in The Villages and a sponsor of our club, is a lifelong builder and mechanic.

He recently completed an eight-month restoration of his 1974 Pontiac Trans Am, logging about 1,400 hours of work to make the car uniquely his own.

After finishing the project in July, he drove the Trans Am more than 2,500 miles from Florida to major car shows in New York and Ohio, experiencing only a minor mechanical issue along the way.

A dedicated craftsman and inventor, Ingalls says restoring cars -- especially ones tied to his youth -- brings him joy, nostalgia and a creative outlet that keeps him busy and fulfilled.
