NASCAR Cup Series Driver Sells Mansion for 3 Times Its Cost in $12.2M Deal
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. NASCAR Cup Series driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has sold his 9,100 square foot estate in Mooresville, North Carolina, for an impressive $12.2 million, which is nearly three times the amount he paid for it in 2013. Stenhouse Jr. has been making news lately, especially after his second clash with Carson Hocevar in Mexico. The Hyak Motorsports driver threatened Hocevar for making contact during the race. However, things appear to be going smoothly for Stenhouse Jr. off the race track. The Wall Street Journal broke the news of Stenhouse Jr.'s real estate sale near Lake Norman, an area where several NASCAR drivers reside due to the close proximity to Charlotte Motor Speedway. Before Stenhouse Jr., the property was owned by NASCAR drivers Ernie Irvan and Joe Nemechek.

MoreAfter making the purchase in 2013 for $3.8 million, Stenhouse Jr. and his family made changes to the property's backyard, adding two swimming pools and a cabana. However, with the property already sold, it is reported that Stenhouse Jr. and his wife, Madyson Stenhouse, have purchased land next to the previously owned property, spanning 160 acres, where they plan to build a house. The reason for the real estate sale is not known, but it is noteworthy that the property was offered for sale in 2022 for $15.995 million. According to Josh Tucker of Corcoran HM Properties, a buyer made a strong offer for cash that was difficult for the Stenhouses to refuse. The buyer's identity remains hidden, but it is confirmed that he is not a NASCAR driver.

The approximately 14,000 square foot property sits on a 4.82-acre land parcel. Listed on Zillow, the property features 5 bedrooms and 9 baths. There's also plenty of space for parking cars and a garage to work on them. Not to forget a gym, theater, custom bar, and game area, or the infinity pool and a private dock with a boat lift outside. Newsweek Sports reported the listing, which stated: "Home to NASCAR champion Martin Truex Jr., this private European-style estate on Lake Norman offers over 14,000 sq ft of luxury living on almost 5 gated, waterfront acres. A tree-lined drive leads to a stunning main house, carriage house with guest apartment, and expansive workshop/garage.
