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!

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

 

NASHVILLE -- Here we go...a new segment and a new group of predictors. Our Spring Segment Predictors picked a total of 11 winners out of 78 possibilities. That's a pretty good success rate of 14%. Let's look for this group to beat that number.

We've got three drivers to cheer for this week. 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.

 Nashville Predictions

  1. Rick Almeida - 0 wins, 0 points  - Kyle Larson - The inaugural winner here and the only driver to finish three times in the top five. He likes the track size and the concrete.
  2. Steve Poplarski - 0 wins, 0 points - Ryan Blaney - Dominated last year’s race, leading nearly half the race, including stage 2 win and second fastest race lap speed.
  3. Len Pouncey - 0 wins, 0 points - Denny Hamlin - Second in points with one win and eight top 10’s. Two top 3 finishes in past three Nashville races. Strong on mid-size tracks.
  4. Cathe Rezendes - 0 wins, 0 points - Denny Hamlin - He's never won here, but has a strong average finish of 5.25. With Toyota and his pit crew, he gets his second Cup win.
  5. Ken Ronk - 0 wins, 0 points - Kyle Larson - He has had an average finish of 7th in the past three years at Nashville. He has no wins this season, just consistent runs.
  6. Jason Woodsford - 0 wins, 0 points - Ryan Blaney - In last year's Nashville race, he started 15th, finished Stage 1 in 7th, won Stage 2, led the most laps (139), and finished first.
