If you need it to be in that specific order, use the following:

if(preg_match("/advance.*racingx/",$string)) {
  //do stuff
}

If the order doesn't matter, do this:

if(preg_match("/advance/",$string) && preg_match("/racingx/",$string))
{
  //do stuff
}

There may be some more efficient/elegant ways to do this, but the
above should yield the results you are looking for.
