Inside the Homes of NASCAR Legends

NASCAR drivers can make quite a bit of money for blasting around the track at 200 mph and defying death. In 2012, Dale Earnhardt Jr. took home $26 million, for example, and in 2019, Danny Hamlin brought home $14.6 million. 

That’s a lot of cash for a single year’s worth of work. But when the tires are worn and the brakes are done smoking, where do these speed freaks hang their jumpsuits?

Take a look inside the homes and mansions of Dale Earnhardt Jr., Denny Hamlin, Rusty Wallace, Kyle Petty  Kevin Harvick, Jeff Gordon, Richard Childress, Michael Waltrip, Kurt Busch, Tony Stewart and Kyle Busch. 

Denny Hamlin Has Won Over $77 Million in Career Earnings Alone

Denny Hamlin has been racing since 2005 at the age of 24 and has earned over $77 million just in winnings alone. That’s not including his sponsorships with companies like FedEx, his longtime sponsor. 

In 2014, Denny Hamlin began building a massive, 30,000-square-foot-home in Cornelius, North Carolina, right on Lake Norman. Around 2016, he completed the beast. 

This is what it looks like.

Denny Hamlin’s Custom Estate

Hamlin purchased a 2.8-acre lot for $1.375 million in 2014 and hired Thompson Custom Building Group, Elite Design Group, Elan security systems and designer Scott Carpenter to build his dream house. 

The home was designed to be a “little more modern, more West Coast” than is traditional for the area, Carpenter told Charlotte Magazine

The Entertaining Room

Hamlin clearly wanted this house to have all the fixings, like an indoor virtual golf area, bar, pool table, and an entertainment system with one large television surrounded by four smaller televisions.

That’s not all the televisions in this home, though. There are a total of 24 60-inch Samsungs located both indoors and outdoors. 

But the real crown jewel of this room is the show garage.

The all-glass, indoor showroom garage is a striking feature. The car showcased is his 2016 Daytona 500 winning car sponsored by FedEx along with two of his other prized vehicles. 

The house has an integrated lighting system by Elan, which can be controlled via a smartphone app, so Hamlin can switch on these bright lights from anywhere in the world, if he wants to.
