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!

 DAYTONA -- Alright, it's time to fire the engines on a brand-new season of Prediction Row competition!

For the first 13 Cup races - our Spring Segment - six prognosticators will go head-to-head, each trying to call the race winner. Every checkered flag means points and pride.

When we roll into races 14 through 26 - the Summer Segment - six new contenders step into the spotlight, battling it out with predictions on the line and everything to prove.

Then it's championship time. The top three finishers from each segment advance to the final ten-race showdown - the Chase Segment - where accuracy, nerve, and racing instincts will decide who claims the coveted Prediction Row trophy.

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

Daytona Predictions

  • Larry Palermini - 0 wins, 0 points  Ryan Blaney: His success on the Superspeedways and the rain forecast similar to his win at the Cook Out equals front row
  • Bob Patterson - 0 wins, 0 points  Alex Bowman: He started on the Daytona 500 front row a record six consecutive times since 2018, has three poles, finished second last year.
  • Jim Rezendes - 0 wins, 0 points  Ryan Blaney: He's had four top 5's at Daytona since 2021 and won in August 2025. Fords continue to show great teamwork on Superspeedways.
  • Craig Simundza - 0 wins, 0 points  Ryan Blaney: He's won twice in the Daytona summer race and nine top ten finishes here. The Dark Horse Mustang will win for "The Captain."
  • Bob Woodsford - 0 wins, 0 points  Connor Zilisch: Trackhouse will turn this top rookie loose to win his first full-time driving race and then they'll settle him down.
  • Pete Zaagman - 0 wins, 0 points  Austin Cindric: When you mix the 2022 Daytona 500 winner and the 2025 Duel winner with Penske power, that's the recipe for success.
