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!

 

SONOMA -- No surprise this week with everyone picking SVG for the win. Their justifications for picking SVG all make sense. It would be tough to vote against the guy.

This one might be fun to watch just to see if SVG does not win! 

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

Sonoma Predictions

  1. Len Pouncey - 3 wins, 188 points - Shane van Gisbergen - Master road and street racer. Five wins last year including Sonoma. One road win and a 2nd place YTD.
  2. Cathe Rezendes - 3 wins, 188 points - Shane van Gisbergen - No. 1 at 2025 Sonoma race. Not counting San Diego (DNF not his fault), 2.0 average on road courses. Doesn’t make stupid moves!
  3. Jason Woodsford - 2 wins, 185 points - Shane van Gisbergen - Won last year, leading 97 of 110 laps. All his Cup wins have come from road/street courses. Considered the best Cup road racer.
  4. Steve Poplarski - 1 win, 126 points - Shane van Gisbergen - He holds the best average finish for road/street courses in the history of NASCAR, including a dominant win here last year.
  5. Ken Ronk - 1 win, 109 points - Shane van Gisbergen - Looking for road course redemption after he was taken out early in San Diego. Five wins last year, only one so far in 2026.
  6. Rick Almeida - 0 wins, 76 points - Shane van Gisbergen - He only raced here one time and led 97 of the 110 laps for the win. He'll be looking for the win after last week's wreck.
