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!

 ATLANTA -- Let's Go Racin'! Expect high-speed, pack-style action with close drafting, plus strategic tire and track position battles.

Our fearless prognosticators have each picked a different race winner. Only one can win, but let's hope nobody finishes crumpled up in the garage.

Standings are based on the number of wins with points breaking any ties. The top three advance to our Chase Segment.

Atlanta Predictions

  1. Larry Palermini - 0 wins, 27 points  Kyle Larson: He is skilled at picking the best line for getting through banked corners - like Atlanta. He also has 26 Cup race wins.
  2. Jim Rezendes - 0 wins, 27 points  Christopher Bell: He won last year and has three top fives at this drafting-style circuit. Toyotas benefit from their teamwork mistakes at Daytona.
  3. Craig Simundza - 0 wins, 27 points  Chase Elliott: Voted most popular driver for eight years, he's the most consistent, the hometown favorite, and has won twice at EchoPark.
  4. Pete Zaagman - 0 wins, 12 points  Carson Hocevar: He was runner up last February at Atlanta. In the Daytona 500 this year, he was in first place with one lap to go.
  5. Bob Woodsford - 0 wins, 4 points  Joey Logano: This three-time Cup champion has two wins at EchoPark. He came in third last week after a last lap crash.
  6. Bob Patterson - 0 wins, 3 points  Alex Bowman: His last win was in Chicago in July 2024. After a DNF at the Daytona 500 last week, he hopes for a redemption win.
