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!

IOWA --  Looks like it's a Ryan Blaney week! Can we say that great Predictors with great minds think alike? Our Predictors picked one race winner with six slightly different justifications.

Let's see what happen. Only one driver to cheer for, but still should be fun to watch.

Standings are based on the number of wins with points breaking any ties. The top 3 transfer to the Chase Segment.

Iowa Predictions 

  1. Len Pouncey - 4 wins, 416 points - Ryan Blaney - Third in points with two wins and 15 top 10s. First and fourth in prior two races at Iowa Speedway. Consistent and adaptable driver.

  3. Jason Woodsford - 3 wins, 349 points - Ryan Blaney - Dominant at Iowa, 2024 winner Ryan Blaney boasts top speed and track stats, making him a prime candidate to win.
