Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has sold his 140-acre Mooresville, North Carolina, home for a whopping $12.2 million.
Despite not officially marketing the property, the NASCAR Cup Series driver and his wife, Madyson, received a cash offer which was impossible to refuse, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The property boasts an impressive 9,000-square-foot residence approached via a sweeping circular driveway, with an outdoor entertainment area, upper pool, pool house/cabana, putting green, and state-of-the-art equestrian facilities.
On top of this, there are detached garages, a fitness facility, five bedrooms, nine bathrooms, and luxury features throughout.
As 37-year-old Stenhouse Jr. heads into race weekend at Pocono Raceway, he does so following recent on-track drama with rival Carson Hocevar. After the latter crashed into the Hyak Motorsports driver at Nashville Superspeedway, Stenhouse Jr. had said, “I’m going to beat your ass when we get back to the States,” to Hocevar in Mexico City.
However, Stenhouse Jr. has since cooled off.
“I’ve calmed down a little bit. My wife talks me off the ledge sometimes,” Stenhouse said Friday on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.

“She does a good job of that. But it doesn’t change the fact that you get spun out for no reason. Felt like it cost us at least seven spots. We didn’t wreck like at Nashville, but we put ourselves in a spot. We got spun a couple times in that race.
“And just kept trying to fight back and get our track position. Felt like on that long run there at the end — there was still three or four spots right there in front of us that we could get and we ended up giving up another four or five spots.
“Just frustrating, obviously, when you got someone a lap down that had ran into you a couple weeks before that. Our talk after Nashville — he said, ‘Hey, I’m going to run you a lot different,’ which hey, at Mexico City, he waved me by. I was like, ‘Alright, things are looking up.’
“And then, he missed his marks and came from pretty far back and ran into us. Again, I know he wasn’t racing us. But it’s really frustrating for my team and our partners and myself to get spun at a stage like that where there was nothing to be raced for.”
