Check out these NASCAR drivers' lavish homes
Daytona 500 drivers living in luxury
The highest-paid NASCAR drivers can earn millions of dollars a year from race prizes and endorsement deals.
And while NASCAR no longer discloses the prize purse for races, the Daytona 500 has historically been the highest-paying race of the year with the first-place winner taking home more than $1.5 million in recent years.
With so much cash going being paid out, some of the most successful drivers have been able to afford some eye-popping homes. Here’s a look at five of them:
Denny Hamlin
The 2019 Daytona 500 winner lives in a 30,000-square-foot lakefront house on a peninsula in Cornelius, North Carolina. The glass-walled garage offers a view of his winning car from the 2016 Daytona 500.
The huge, luxurious property includes six bedrooms, seven bathrooms and two half-baths and its value has been assessed at $9.7 million, county property records show.
Its amenities include a bowling alley, basketball court, 24 TVs, an elevator, a 90-foot-long pool and a bar with a pool table, Charlotte Home and Garden reported.
