NASCAR Cup Series Driver Sells Mansion for 3 Times Its Cost in $12.2M Deal

NASCAR Cup Series driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has sold his 9,100 square foot estate in Mooresville, North Carolina, for an impressive $12.2 million, which is nearly three times the amount he paid for it in 2013.
Stenhouse Jr. has been making news lately, especially after his second clash with Carson Hocevar in Mexico. The Hyak Motorsports driver threatened Hocevar for making contact during the race. However, things appear to be going smoothly for Stenhouse Jr. off the race track.
The Wall Street Journal broke the news of Stenhouse Jr.'s real estate sale near Lake Norman, an area where several NASCAR drivers reside due to the close proximity to Charlotte Motor Speedway. Before Stenhouse Jr., the property was owned by NASCAR drivers Ernie Irvan and Joe Nemechek.

Daniel Suarez, driver of the #99 Telcel Chevrolet, and Ricky Stenhouse Jr., driver of the #47 Fun Pops Chevrolet, race during the NASCAR Cup Series Viva Mexico 250 at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez on June 15, 2025 in Mexico City, Mexico. MoreAfter making the purchase in 2013 for $3.8 million, Stenhouse Jr. and his family made changes to the property's backyard, adding two swimming pools and a cabana. However, with the property already sold, it is reported that Stenhouse Jr. and his wife, Madyson Stenhouse, have purchased land next to the previously owned property, spanning 160 acres, where they plan to build a house.
The reason for the real estate sale is not known, but it is noteworthy that the property was offered for sale in 2022 for $15.995 million. According to Josh Tucker of Corcoran HM Properties, a buyer made a strong offer for cash that was difficult for the Stenhouses to refuse. The buyer's identity remains hidden, but it is confirmed that he is not a NASCAR driver.
Speaking of Lake Norman, NASCAR champion Martin Truex Jr.'s private European-style home has been on sale in the same area for $7.5 million. The approximately 14,000 square foot property sits on a 4.82-acre land parcel.
Listed on Zillow, the property features 5 bedrooms and 9 baths. There's also plenty of space for parking cars and a garage to work on them. Not to forget a gym, theater, custom bar, and game area, or the infinity pool and a private dock with a boat lift outside. Newsweek Sports reported the listing, which stated:
"Home to NASCAR champion Martin Truex Jr., this private European-style estate on Lake Norman offers over 14,000 sq ft of luxury living on almost 5 gated, waterfront acres. A tree-lined drive leads to a stunning main house, carriage house with guest apartment, and expansive workshop/garage.
"The main home features a grand living room with soaring ceilings and lake views, a chef's kitchen, formal dining, and a main-level primary suite with a spa bath and 2-story closet. Upstairs offers en-suite guest rooms and a second office with a loft. The finished basement includes a custom bar, theater, gym, and game area. Outside, enjoy a resort-style infinity pool, waterfall, fire pit, and private dock with boat lift.
"A detached garage with finished space above adds even more flexibility. This home is perfect for a car enthusiast, with ample amount of garage spaces and workshop. An entertainer's dream and rare waterfront offering—experience luxury lake living with a championship pedigree."

EU-US trade deal could add up to $19 billion in pharma industry costs, analysts say
By Bhanvi Satija (Reuters) -The European Union's trade deal with the United States could cost the pharmaceutical industry between $13 billion and $19 billion as branded medicines become subject to a tariff of 15%, analysts said on Monday. The added costs could raise prices for consumers unless pharmaceutical companies take action to mitigate the impact of the tariffs, one of the analysts said. Pharmaceuticals had historically been exempt from duties. Medicines are the largest European exports to the United States by value and the EU accounts for about 60% of all pharmaceutical imports to the U.S. On Sunday, European officials said that a bilateral trade deal for an across-the-board 15% tariff included pharmaceuticals, except for some generic drugs, which would be subject to no tariffs. The U.S. has been conducting a national security investigation into the pharmaceutical sector and the industry has been bracing for separate sectoral tariffs. President Donald Trump said earlier this month, before negotiating the bilateral deal, that pharmaceutical tariffs could be as high as 200%. Some Wall Street analysts said that they do not expect additional tariffs on the EU as a result of the investigation, but others cautioned that the deal was not yet signed and that several questions remained unanswered. UBS analyst Matthew Weston said that he expects details of the trade deal to include protective measures for EU pharma exports from the U.S. investigation, especially since such measures are being discussed in negotiations with the United Kingdom and Switzerland. ING analyst Diederik Stadig also said that while tariffs on top of the 15% were not expected, even after the conclusion of the national security investigations, nothing is completely clear "until a trade deal is inked." Stadig estimates that these levies could add $13 billion to industry expenses without any mitigation strategies, and some of that could be ultimately borne by the consumer. Bernstein analyst Courtney Breen puts the additional expenses at $19 billion for the industry, but she notes that companies might be able to absorb some of the costs with the measures they have been implementing — such as stockpiling of drug products and new deals with contract researchers. Earlier this month, Sanofi said it will sell a manufacturing facility in New Jersey to Thermo Fisher, where the French drugmaker's therapies will continue to be manufactured. Roche's CEO Thomas Schinecker said last week that the company was increasing its U.S. inventories to avoid any immediate disruption from tariffs. UBS' Weston said that it was not immediately clear which generic drugs were exempted from duties under the deal, but any impact for generic drugmaker Sandoz for this year should mostly be manageable. Shares in pharmaceutical companies Sanofi, Roche and Sandoz Group all closed up between 0.5% and 1% on Monday.

Brickyard 400 sees slight attendance dip. Will NASCAR race return to IMS oval? What we know
INDIANAPOLIS — Unsurprisingly, ticket sales for Sunday's Brickyard 400 were down a couple thousand from NASCAR's event at Indianapolis Motor Speedway the year prior. An approximation from just over 70,000 in 2024 to just under 70,000 fans attended Sunday, according to an IMS spokesperson. Down on pit lane in the moments after Sunday's race won by Bubba Wallace that featured a pair of overtimes where the 23XI Racing driver was forced to fend off reigning race-winner Kyle Larson, IMS and IndyCar president Doug Boles guesstimated IMS would end up down 5,000 to 6,000 tickets from 2024 and land around 65,000, but he had yet to see the walk-up numbers, which weren't expected to be spectacular, given the intense heat index, coupled with the lingering weather concerns. The dip, though, comes after the monumental return to the oval for NASCAR in 2024 after three years away while simultaneously celebrating the Brickyard 400's 30th anniversary of its first running — a pair of milestones that, while not exactly having 100th Indy 500-level impacts, were believed to have notably helped the track achieve year-over-year growth for race day (when compared to 2019, the last year NASCAR ran on the oval with fans) for the first time since 2002. Last year's race topped 2018's Brickyard 400 attendance numbers, too, and approached — but didn't nearly reach — 2017 and 2016. In the vein of its approach to the post-2016 Indy 500 era of the Greatest Spectacle in Racing, Boles spoke last year of wanting to keep a significant amount of 'lift' from 2024 to 2025 and then use the latter as a foundation off of which to build from moving forward. He said Sunday he doesn't expect the race to be on anything but the oval track in 2026. 'We just have to keep building it,' he said, hence why it was so important to make a pair of cross-country commercial flights in the span of 36 hours in order to wear both of his hats this weekend. 'From an IndyCar standpoint, I think it just shows that I'm serious about it. By not going, it would have left some doubt, and (the Brickyard 400) is one of our two massive events we have (at IMS). 'I just felt like I needed to be here. NASCAR's been such an awesome partner of ours, so I just wanted to try and manage through both of those.'

Pentagon Hosts Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania To Strengthen European Defense
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth met Friday with his counterparts from Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania at the Pentagon to discuss European defense spending and security challenges. The meeting comes as Baltic nations prepare to dramatically increase military budgets amid ongoing regional tensions. Hegseth praised Estonian Minister Hanno Pevkur, Latvian Minister Andris Sprūds, and Lithuanian Minister Dovilė Šakalienė for committing to allocate 5% of their respective countries' GDPs to defense by 2026. The spending target represents one of the highest defense investment rates among NATO allies. According to Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell, the Secretary 'appreciated the Baltic states' clear-eyed view of the European security environment.' Hegseth emphasized that European nations must take 'primary responsibility for Europe's conventional defense.' The defense leaders also explored ways to strengthen their nations' defense manufacturing capabilities. Building industrial capacity has become increasingly critical as allies seek to replenish weapons stockpiles and modernize military equipment. The Baltic states have emerged as some of NATO's most committed members in terms of defense spending. Their proximity to Russia has driven aggressive military modernization efforts in recent years. The Pentagon readout noted Hegseth's push for allies to convert higher spending into 'combat credible capabilities.' This reflects broader U.S. concerns about ensuring defense dollars translate into meaningful military readiness rather than bureaucratic overhead. Solve the daily Crossword
