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!
Next Meeting - Sept. 2
Our next meeting is on September 2 at Colony Cottage Recreation Center, going green at 7 p.m.
Join us as we welcome 16-year-old rising star Sarah Bradley.
Sarah got her start behind the wheel at just 5 years old, spending a decade honing her skills in go-karts. After securing back-to-back North Texas Karting Kid Kart championships (2016 & 2017), she sharpened her racing skills season after season. Ultimately Sarah earned a runner-up finish in the 2023 SuperKarts USA Winter Tour.
Since transitioning to Dirt Legends in late 2025, Sarah has already made her mark on the track, driving to a feature race victory at Marion County Speedway in March and taking home a runner-up finish at the Dirt Legends of the South feature at Needmore Speedway in Georgia on August 8.
Don't miss the chance to hear from one of the region's top young racing talents!
Meetings are open only to club members, but Villages residents are welcome to join at the door. Click Here for more membership information.
Prediction Row 2026
Loudon -- Only two races to go and Rick desperately needs Christopher Bell to win or he can home after this one. Steve and Jason are only one point apart for that coveted third place! Christopher Bell is the favorite this week so let’s see if he can make things happen for Rick and Jason.
I'm really looking forward to watching this race!
Standings are based on the number of wins with points breaking any ties. The top 3 transfer to the Chase Segment.
Loudon Predictions
