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!

Our next meeting is at Colony Cottage Recreation Center on November 4 at 7 p.m. when the business of a NASCAR ARCA team takes center stage.

Join us for a memorable meeting with guest speaker Sandy Brantley, the Director of Marketing for City Garage Motorsports, a family-owned Lakeland-based ARCA team focused on helping young drivers develop their craft.

Sandy's responsibilities at the team include managing sponsorships, media, and fan engagement to secure mutual value for partners and necessary support for the team. The CGM team emphasizes community involvement, especially with their primary sponsor, Orlando Health. We will learn about what she deals with to successfully promote their drivers and partners.

Before joining City Garage Motorsports, Sandy was a Fortune 50 company executive, a bestselling author, and a speaker who has spent years helping young people grow into successful adults.

Don't miss this inside look at how a start-up professional race team can do things differently by sharing their purpose and the relentless desire to win!

Meetings are open only to club members, but Villages residents are welcome to join at the door. Click Here for more membership information.

HOMESTEAD-MIAMI — For this final race of the Chase, Christopher Bell is the favorite between our top two Predictors and a Bell victory would wrap up the championship for Pete. However, a win by either Denny Hamlin or Ryan Blaney, combined with a disappointing finish by Christopher Bell, could spell success for one member of the Rezendes family.

In any case, this final race should be fun to watch. Let's see who's going to win the club's Prediction Row Trophy for 2026!

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

Homestead-Miami Predictions

  1. Pete Zaagman - 2 wins, 393 points - Christopher Bell - Former winner at this track, has two top five finishes across six Cup races. He also won the 2017 truck series championship here.
  2. Len Pouncey - 1 win, 385 points - Christopher Bell - Second in points with 15 top 5s. Excellent on intermediate distance ovals. Will race to the absolute limit. Last dance -- last chance.
  3. Cathe Rezendes - 1 win, 321 points - Denny Hamlin - Larson will be careful and Denny has a first championship to gain.  He has a third and a fifth in the last two races here so it’s his time!
  4. Jim Rezendes - 1 win, 290 points - Ryan Blaney - At this track, finished second in 2023 & 2024 and dominated 2025, 124/267 laps. Never gives up. Bonus, Hocevar can't wreck anyone.
  5. Steve Poplarski - 0 wins, 325 points - Kyle Larson - Good guy, great driver. So disappointed with some drivers intentionally damaging competitors with full brake check, this will hurt the sport.
  6. Bob Patterson - 0 wins, 308 points - Denny Hamlin - I'm out of town now and do not know the results from Martinsville. But I rode Danny this far and I’ll ride him to the end.
