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!

 RICHMOND -- Three of our Predictors believe that Denny Hamlin is going to win this one and they could be right. But a Christopher Bell win would really shake up and tighten our standings.

Either way this short track race 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.

Richmond Predictions

  1. Len Pouncey - 4 wins, 463 points - Denny Hamlin - Elite driver on short flat tracks. Top Next Gen speed and driver ratings. Points leader with four wins and 13 top 5s.
  2. Cathe Rezendes - 4 wins, 413 points - Denny Hamlin - A 4.8 average finish in the last three races here. His experience dominates others with the most wins on short tracks at 15.
  3. Jason Woodsford - 3 wins, 396 points - Tyler Reddick - With four wins in six 2026 starts and clear short-track progress, Reddick is poised to win the Cook Out 400.
  4. Steve Poplarski - 3 wins, 389 points - Christopher Bell - He has four top 5s and seven top 10s in last nine races. His biggest issues have been pit stops here, hopefully they are behind him.
  5. Ken Ronk - 2 wins, 293 points - Denny Hamlin - With four wins this season, he plans to return to the winner’s circle. His last win here is 2024.
  6. Rick Almeida - 1 win, 286 points - Christopher Bell - Seven top 10 with four being top 5 finishes at the last 10 races here. He's 10th in points and looking for his first win of the season.
