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!

SAN DIEGO -- No surprise that for this week's road race Shane van Gisbergen is the favorite, but it might be fun to see Jason's prediction for Denny Hamlin to take the top spot. Four in a row? That might be pushing it!

Let's see what happens.

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

San Diego Predictions

  1. Len Pouncey - 3 wins, 187 points - Shane van Gisbergen - Superb road racer. Winner of five races in '25. One win and a second in the two road course races YTD.
  2. Cathe Rezendes - 3 wins, 187 points - Shane van Gisbergen - A proven road course champ with an amazing win at his debut NASCAR race. No. 1 in six of eight road course races with a 2.0 average!
  3. Jason Woodsford - 2 wins, 162 points - Denny Hamlin - With three consecutive Cup Series wins, he has raced great during his career at this track, a seven-time winner. Can't pick any other driver.
  4. Steve Poplarski - 1 win, 125 points - Shane Van Gisbergen - Track layout shows high speed straightaways with 90-degree turns. He is the best at braking under high speed.
  5. Ken Ronk - 1 win, 108 points - Shane Van Gisbergen - Brand new road course for everyone. Shane will get his second win this season and continue his domination of road courses.
  6. Rick Almeida - 0 wins, 75 points - Shane Van Gisbergen - He has won half of every road course race he ran in NASCAR. Truly the front runner in the Next Gen car for street/road courses.
