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.

 MARTINSVILLE — This week Denny Hamlin appears to be the favorite and a victory would give Bob his first win and finally move him out of last place. However, a Ryan Blaney win could propel Steve all the way up to second place!

In any case, our Predictors need a win. With only four winning picks so far in this Chase Segment, they could use another victory to save face!

Regardless of how it turns out, this should be a fun race to watch. 🏁

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

Martinsville Predictions 

  1. Len Pouncey - 1 win, 354 points - Denny Hamlin - Strong short track performance. Second in points with four wins and 16 top 5s. Needs a win to be in Cup championship contention.
  2. Pete Zaagman - 1 win, 317 points - William Byron - He was a winner in '24 and '25. His Hendrick team has won four of the last six races at Martinsville.
  3. Cathe Rezendes - 1 win, 290 points - Denny Hamlin - Last two spring races here, he had a first and second finish and led over 550 laps. This win will take him past Larson to the Championship!
  4. Jim Rezendes - 1 win, 288 points - Ryan Blaney - An expert at Martinsville's braking and cornering challenges. Six Top 10s and a 4.7 average finish. A real bulldog at tough tracks!
  5. Steve Poplarski - 0 wins, 323 points - Ryan Blaney - Fifteen straight top 11 finishes here including two wins. Needs two more wins to have an outside shot at the Championship.
  6. Bob Patterson - 0 wins, 277 points - Denny Hamlin - Six wins at this track, most of any active driver. It's not over but he's gonna need a win and somebody else to have bad luck.
