Flames gutted the property and smoke billowed into the air

Crews rushed to the home in North Carolina and were seen spraying water at the sprawling property.

Fire chiefs revealed that almost half of the home was burning by the time crews arrived, as reported by The Athletic.

David Toomey, the Lucia Riverbend Fire Department chief, said the home was at a “total loss.”

But, expensive cars parked in the garage and racing memorabilia were saved.

“We were able to save all that and get it out so it wasn’t damaged,” Toomey told reporters.

Between 10 and 15 crews were at the home because of a lack of fire hydrants.

Hamlin’s property company Won One Real Estate owns the four-bedroom home, according to The Athletic.

It was built in 2015 – one year after his company bought the land.

Hamlin, from Chesterfield, Virginia, is one of the all-time NASCAR greats.

He burst onto the scene in 2006, winning the Rookie of the Year accolade.

During his career, Hamlin has won the Daytona 500 event three times in 2016, 2019, and 2020.

And, he landed his first Coca Cola 600 race win in 2022.

Hamlin is one of the highest paid NASCAR drivers and has a net worth of $65 million.

He came second in the drivers’ standings for the 2025 season, finishing only three points behind Kyle Larson.

He finished in the top five in 14 of his 35 races, and picked up six victories.

Hamlin, who also owns the NASCAR team 23XI Racing alongside Michael Jordan, has not spoken out about the blaze.

Earlier this month, NASCAR was left reeling by the death of racing driver Greg Biffle and his family.

He, his wife, and two children were among seven killed in a plane crash in North Carolina.
