The home of Dennis Hamlin and Mary Lou Hamlin — the parents of NASCAR Cup Series veteran driver Denny Hamlin — caught fire on Sunday night.
According to a report from WCNC in Charlotte, two people were hospitalized. Gaston County officials have not released the names of the occupants but Lucia-Riverbend Fire Department Chief David Toomey told the station that the Hamlins were residents and the fire resulted in a complete loss.

WON ONE REAL ESTATE, LLC, owned by Denny Hamlin, is listed as owner of the property.
Toomey suggested in a report by The Athletic that 40 to 45 percent of the home was already burning upon fire crews arriving on Sunday night.
“They had some really expensive cars in the garage and some racing memorabilia and stuff, so all that was saved,” Toomey told the Athletic. “We were able to save all that and get it out so it wasn’t damaged.”
Hamlin has yet to comment publicly.
