One person died and another person was injured after a fire ripped through a North Carolina home owned by NASCAR star Denny Hamlin on Sunday.
The Lucia-Riverbend Fire Department said the fire started Sunday night in the 1100 block of Blacksnake Road in Stanley, approximately 20 miles outside the city of Charlotte.
Photos shared by the department show large flames and a significant emergency response.
Local CBS affiliate WBTV reports that tax records connected the property to a company owned by Hamlin, as well as his father, Dennis Hamlin.
