US EditionFans Praying for NASCAR Star After Deadly Fire Destroys His Parents House
- On Sunday, a house fire struck the parents of NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin on Blacksnake Road in Stanley, North Carolina after 6 p.m. ET, killing one and hospitalizing another.
- Fire officials said the response was slowed when it took about TWO hours to control flames due to hydrant shortages, with 10 TO 12 rural departments bringing tankers as the structure collapsed.
- Records and fire officials confirmed that Dennis Hamlin, 75, died and Mary Lou Hamlin, 69, remains critically injured after escaping the fire at their home owned by Won One Real Estate with Denny Hamlin as manager.
- Gaston County officials said the investigation will continue well into Monday while Denny Hamlin has yet to issue a statement and the NASCAR community mourns.
- The loss comes amid broader sorrow after Hamlin had recently mentioned his father during emotional testimony this month in a federal antitrust trial tied to 23XI Racing, co-owned with Michael Jordan, and following a fatal plane crash that killed Greg Biffle less than two weeks earlier.
