‘Dear Lord Baby Jesus,' That's a price cut: Ex-NASCAR driver sold Charlotte home for $10M
Retired NASCAR driver Kevin Harvick and his wife, DeLana Harvick, have sold their south Charlotte mansion for $10 million — $2.5 million less than their original asking price, according to its listing.
The mansion is located on nearly 4.5 acres in the 1900 block of Bent Branch Drive, off Carmel Road in the SouthPark community. The Harvicks paid about $3.34 million in 2014 for the home, according to public records.
The buyer wasn't disclosed and is not yet listed in public tax records. The Harvicks are still listed as the owners of the property.
Its listing, handled by Realtor Heather Gibbs of Corcoran HM Properties, shows the property sold last month.
The home is within walking distance of the Charlotte Country Day School.
The home and land had a total 2024 appraised value of $8.485 million, according to Mecklenburg County tax records.
That includes an assessed value of nearly $4.5 million for the land, $3.9 million for the home and $38,700 in various features, the records show.
The 9,157-square-foot gated villa has six bedrooms, seven full bathrooms and three half-bathrooms.
The grounds include pool and guest houses and a 3-acre turfed rear yard with a putting green and multiple tee boxes.
The pool house includes a full kitchen and indoor-outdoor dining areas; the guest house has a private gated entrance, a gym, arcade, golf simulator, kitchen and an office, according to the listing.
The mansion includes five guest suites; a home theater; a play room; and a primary suite with a porch, lounge, dual baths and multi-level closet.
In 2023, the Harvicks paid $6.75 million for a Cornelius mansion, the house where the famous 'Dear Lord Baby Jesus' dinner scene was filmed for the classic 2006 Will Ferrell sports comedy, 'Talladega Nights.'

Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. In sad news ahead of the NASCAR Cup Mexico City, it has been confirmed that Travis Carter, NASCAR team owner and founder of Travis Carter Enterprises, has died at the age of 75. After staying in a hospice towards the end of his life, Carter died on June 10, 2025. NASCAR issued the following statement: "From his early days atop the pit box to his years as a respected team owner, Travis Carter embodied the competitive spirit, integrity, and passion that define NASCAR. NASCAR extends its heartfelt condolences and prayers to his family and many friends." Carter became crew chief for Benny Parsons, a NASCAR Hall of Famer, and put a championship win under his belt with the team.

NASCAR car owner Johnny Hayes, left, talks with Skoal Bandit team crew chief Travis Carter prior to the start of the 1983 Daytona 500 stock car race at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. MoreIn 1990, the North Carolina native put his own car and team into a race. A number of NASCAR personalities and stakeholders have shared their condolences. Rick Mast posted to X: "In 1989 Travis Carter, while in a desperate situation trying to save his team, took a chance on an unproven, unpolished rookie race car driver at @DAYTONA. He was rewarded with running up front, leading, and a 6th place finish. (Could've won had we gambled on fuel like Darrell did). This race propelled me into the spotlight and reaffirmed Travis's place in our sport. That man took a chance on me because he 'saw something.' Travis was a visionary and was hailed with the upmost [sic] respect in our industry. RIP dear friend. 'It's ah dupping'" ESPN writer Ryan McGee posted: "Godspeed Travis Carter. He used to greet me with 'Hey, Cousin McGee' because I was from Rockingham, NC and he was from Ellerbe, NC and 'that's close enough.' What a NASCAR legend and what a damn nice guy." Brett Griffin also added to the tributes: "RIP Travis Carter. Got to see him a lot over the last few years at basketball games. His son Matt coached Bode for several seasons. Great family. Glad I snagged this pic of him last year to send to a buddy of mine." Brian Keselowski said his goodbyes: "Just heard about Travis Carter passing away. If you didn't know him, you missed out on a great guy. When we first moved to NC in 2010 we rented a shop from him. He was so happy for us when we made Daytona in 2011, I'll never forget it. Rest easy my friend."

Denny Hamlin Stunned by Alex Bowman's Michigan Crash - 'Big Lick'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Denny Hamlin has reacted to Alex Bowman's crash during the NASCAR Cup Series race at Michigan International Speedway on Sunday. Hamlin was surprised by the intensity of the incident and described it as a "big lick." Five drivers were involved in the crash that brought out the red flag. Contact between cars No. 41 and 2 triggered the incident. Cars No. 99, 48, and 19 weren't spared either. Bowman, Daniel Suarez, Cole Custer, Austin Cindric, and Chase Briscoe were the affected drivers, and fortunately, all escaped unharmed. However, Bowman crashed hard, which prompted him to admit that it was the "biggest hit" he had experienced in a stock car. Newsweek Sports reported his statement after the crash: Alex Bowman, driver of the #48 Ally Chevrolet, pits after an on-track incident during the NASCAR Cup Series Cracker Barrel 400 at Nashville Superspeedway on June 01, 2025 in Lebanon, Tennessee. Alex Bowman, driver of the #48 Ally Chevrolet, pits after an on-track incident during the NASCAR Cup Series Cracker Barrel 400 at Nashville Superspeedway on June 01, 2025 in Lebanon, Tennessee."It happened so fast that I didn't even see them. I didn't know who hit me until I saw the video. It's always turbulent in the 300th. It's crazy back there. It gets wild and that is part of racing. It's wild all through the field. "Unfortunately, the further back you get, the less downforce cars have, the dirtier the air, the situations you're in, and the worst everybody stuff drives. So stuff like this tends to happen." He added: "I feel okay. It was the biggest hit I've ever taken in a stock car by a mile. Head-on into the wall at Michigan, it's gonna be that way. Try to go get them next week." The red flag is out at @MISpeedway after this incident involving multiple cars.@Alex_Bowman exited the No. 48 under his own power. — NASCAR (@NASCAR) June 8, 2025 Hamlin said on his Actions Detrimental podcast that he knew the crash was serious since he wasn't allowed to go past the "crime scene." He said: "Major. I knew it had to be a big lick, because they wouldn't even let us go through this crime scene. The caution came out for us, I think I was somewhere on the back stretch, and we were stopped right after the start-finish line. "So, at that point, when it goes red that quickly, I'm like, 'Oh, must've had a big one.' I point myself out to look at the screen to see the replay, and I was like, 'Whoa, that was a big hit.'" When the NASCAR veteran was asked about the impact of the crash and the pain that comes from such crashes, he said: "You certainly feel it more so the day after and the following days. Like, for instance, my wrist from Daytona - I think it's still not right from where it was. Like, I'm so old now, it's like, will it ever be right again? It just sucks to put any kind of pressure on it. "It's just, I think it's different for everyone. People recover differently. But yeah, I mean, head-on impact like that. Certainly when the Next Gen originally came out and it was solid as a rock, you know, before they started cutting up the roll cage and all kinds of stuff to get the impacts a little bit softer, you know, that could've been a way worse wreck than what it appears that it resulted in."
