House owned by Hamlin a total loss after fire

A house owned by NASCAR Cup Series driver and owner Denny Hamlin was a complete loss after a fire that broke out at the property on Sunday night.

Luca-Riverbend Fire Department, one of multiple departments from Gaston and Lincoln Counties that responded to the fire, reported that the home belongs to Hamlin's parents, Mary Lou and Dennis. Two people on the scene were hospitalized, but their identities were not announced. It is not yet known what caused the fire.

Multiple pictures of the blaze were shared on the Luca-Riverbend Fire Department's Facebook page.

“We are thankful for the multiple agency response,” a post said, “and ask that the public be in prayer for the affected family and our first responders in fire, GEMs and police. This remains an active scene.”

The home is located in Stanley, North Carolina, on Blacksnake Road. The fire was reported after 6 p.m. ET.

Won One Real Estate is the owner of the home according to property records. Hamlin is the registered owner of the company.

The Athletic reports that some cars and racing memorabilia were saved from the fire.

Hamlin won six Cup Series races this year, driving the No. 11 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing. He finished a disappointing second in the championship after dominating the season finale at Phoenix Raceway before a late caution. Hamlin and Michael Jordan, with whom he co-owns 23XI Racing, settled an antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR earlier this month.
