See inside ex-NASCAR champion's $12M Lake Norman mansion
Why it matters: The listing underscores Mooresville's — and greater Charlotte's — surge in luxury real estate demand, especially from affluent individuals connected to NASCAR and motorsports.
Catch up quick: McMurray is a Missouri native best known for winning both the Daytona 500 and the Brickyard 400 in 2010 — one of NASCAR's rarest feats.
Only three drivers have pulled it off in the same season: Dale Jarrett (1996), Jimmie Johnson (2006), and McMurray (2010).
McMurry has retired from racing and is now a TV analyst for Fox Sports and the CW, covering NASCAR.
The intrigue: Nearby Mooresville luxury transactions include Martin Truex Jr.'s $7.5 million lakefront Euro‑style home and Ricky Stenhouse Jr.'s record‑setting $12.2 million sale earlier this year, Mooresville Now reported.
Zoom in: McMurray's mansion sits on nearly 34 acres along the Brawley School Road peninsula on Lake Norman.
At 9,000 square feet, it has five bedrooms, six full bathrooms and two half bathrooms.
A gated driveway leads to a four-car garage — a nod to McMurray's racing past — built by Arcadia and designed by Harry Schrader in 2015.
Other highlights include a turf-lined pool, pool house and private lake access from the dock.
Take a look around.

What AI means for the jobs market
Here's what to know about how AI could change the labor market: What are business leaders saying? The predictions from leading executives on the impact of AI have varied wildly since the technology first took the world by storm in late 2022, with the public release of OpenAI's ChatGPT. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned in an interview with Axios in May that AI could wipe out half of entry-level white-collar jobs, resulting in unemployment rates of 10 percent to 20 percent within five years. In a note to employees in June, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said he anticipates that AI will reduce the e-commerce giant's corporate workforce and 'change the way our work is done.' However, others are a bit more skeptical about claims of dramatic job losses and disruption. 'The hard part about this is, I think it will happen faster than previous technological changes,' OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said on The New York Times 'Hard Fork' podcast in June. 'But I think the new jobs will be better, and people will have better stuff.' 'And the take that half the jobs are going to be gone in a year or two years or five years or whatever, I think that's not how society really works,' he added. What's happening now? For all the forecasting about AI, the impact isn't reflected in the data quite yet, experts told The Hill. A recent analysis from the Economic Innovation Group found no meaningful impacts from AI on the labor market across several different measures. 'It's just not there,' said Nathan Goldschlag, director of research at the Economic Innovation Group who co-authored the analysis. 'That's not to say it won't be right. It's just we can't — it's very hard to justify the claim that AI right now is totally, fundamentally reordering the labor market.'

What Will Powell Reveal About Interest Rate Cuts on August 22? And How Will Markets React?
We're mid-week, and so far, it's been a quieter trading affair. Traders and investors are awaiting the annual Kansas City Federal Reserve Economic Policy Symposium that moves into full swing Thursday in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Fed Chair Jerome Powell is expected to give an update on the Fed's monetary policy framework on Friday morning. More News from Barchart Dollar Recovers as Stocks Falter Signs of Peace Progress in Ukraine Boosts the Euro and Weighs on the Dollar Dollar Falls as Trump Calls for Fed Governor Cook to Resign Tired of missing midday reversals? The FREE Barchart Brief newsletter keeps you in the know. Sign up now! Powell's speech could give the market a new perspective on how much Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) support there is to lower U.S. interest rates in September. Following are some of the arguments that have been put forth by monetary policy doves (who want lower U.S. interest rates sooner) and hawks (who want no U.S. interest rate cuts anytime soon). Then I'll give you my prediction for Friday's Powell speech. The Dove Case on Interest Rate Cuts The surprisingly weak U.S. employment report for July showed a modest increase in the unemployment rate, rising to 4.2% from 4.1% the previous month. While the headline number showed a small increase, the jobs growth was surprisingly minimal, with only 73,000 jobs added — and there were downward revisions to job gains in the May and June reports. Other major central banks are starting to lower, or leaning toward lowering, their interest rates, including the European Central Bank and the Bank of England. The U.S. Fed does not want to get behind the curve on global central bank monetary policy easing. Recent U.S. inflation reports have been mostly tame. The July Consumer Price Index (CPI) report rose 2.7% annually. That's just slightly above what the Federal Reserve wants to see for annual inflation. The 'Too late Powell' nickname from President Donald Trump gained some credence following the July jobs report. Trump's needling of Powell for not lower U.S. interest rates faster may well have pushed Powell into a more dovish posture, to be revealed at Jackson Hole. The Hawk Case on Interest Rate Cuts The hotter-than-expected July Producer Price Index reading of up 3.1%, year-over-year, raised eyebrows. Most of the recent U.S. economic data has been upbeat, which supports a steady U.S. monetary policy stance. U.S. tariffs are a wild card. While the tariffs have so far not sparked problematic inflation, there is the distinct possibility inflation will fire up in the coming months, as U.S. consumers may have to scramble to buy a shorter supply of goods on store shelves. Also, higher tariffs on imported goods to the U.S. suggest manufacturers and retailers will pass along those increased costs to consumers. Holding steady on U.S. monetary policy and not lowering interest rates is bullish for the U.S. dollar. How I See Powell Leaning Friday and the Resulting Impacts on Markets I don't think anyone has a solid read on what Powell will say at Jackson Hole on Friday. That means markets are a little more anxious — not knowing what to expect. My best guess is that Powell leans a bit easier on U.S. monetary policy, mainly due to the surprisingly weaker U.S. jobs data in July. Also, Trump's pressure on Powell to lower rates has likely impacted Powell's thinking, especially after the weak July jobs data. And if Powell does lean easy, commodity markets, including the metals, energies, grains, livestock and softs, would be supported. The U.S. dollar index would likely be pressured, and the Euro currency would rally. U.S. stock indexes would also rally, probably to new record highs since they are already close to record highs. U.S. Treasuries would also see price rallies (lower yields). We'll see what happens Friday. Tell me what you think. I really enjoy getting emails from my valued Barchart readers all over the world.

Recent crashes aside, Ryan Preece looks to make this Daytona trip memorable for other reasons
Ryan Preece is a realist. He's gone airborne in two of the last four races at Daytona International Speedway and knows the chances of being in a vicious crash Saturday night remains high. Ryan Preece is an optimist. He sees the odds as in his favor of keeping all four tires on the ground for the regular season finale (Coverage begins at 7 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock). Ryan Preece has a sense of humor. It would be easy to dread all the talk of his terrifying crash in 2023 at Daytona and his stunning wreck in this year's Daytona 500, but he's leaned into it heading into his final chance to make this season's playoff field. A couple of months ago, Preece had an idea. Why not have the helmet he'll wear this weekend painted like an astronaut's due to his recent flights he's had at a track about an hour's drive from the Kennedy Space Center. The idea morphed into a Top Gun theme and Maverick-style helmet. 'I think it's probably one of my favorite helmets,' Preece said. Diandra Leslie-Pelecky, Yet, why even acknowledge the misfortune in the past when he's trying to make the Cup playoffs for the first time and secure RFK Racing's only playoff bid this season. 'I feel as race car drivers we're numb,' said Preece, who needs to win Saturday's race to make the playoffs. 'We're numb so to speak to wrecking like that. So, you know, when I barrel rolled two years ago or whatever it was, I still watch it and I think, 'Boy, I don't want to do that again.'' Nate Ryan, But he understands crashing can be an occupational hazard. 'For us, as race car drivers, if you're going to compete and you're going to go out there and do your job to the best of your ability, you have to have absolutely no fear,' Preece said. 'I just choose to forget about it and kind of bury it deep inside to where I don't even think about it. 'Every time we show up to Daytona, I think, 'Well, it's going to go different this time.' And sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't and that's just the game we play.' He believes his fortune will change. 'I'm a believer in the law of averages,' Preece said. ' … Eventually It's going to turn around. I feel like the best thing I can do is go this weekend and race no different than I've ever been.' Dustin Long, He's encouraged by his performance earlier this season at Talladega. He crossed the finish line in second place but his car failed inspection and was disqualified. While the result was taken away, how he drove in that race remains. 'I feel like things just really started to click,' Preece said of that Talladega race. 'When I go back and watch superspeedway style of races you see people fall into situations and sometimes it kind of just happens to work out and they win. And then there's others where they could have done things different. 'I feel like I've learned — about time I guess — with this car, understanding what I need to do to put myself in position to seize an opportunity of putting ourselves in position to win a race.'
