NASCAR Driver's Home Sale Sets A Record
Read the full story on Backfire News Everyone knows NASCAR drivers often live large, thanks to their famously robust annual earnings. But even for Charlotte, North Carolina, the recent sale of a NASCAR driver's estate that's been owned by two other drivers in the past is enough to set a record for that surprisingly, the driver who's been living like Ricky Bobby is none other than Ricky Stenhouse Jr. The man is in his prime, competing in the Cup Series and obviously doing great financially. The home in question sold for a whopping $12.2 million in June, making it the most expensive house sold in the region ever, reports It must be rough to be #47. Originally, Stenhouse bought the house, which is actually a ranch spread out over 140 acres, back in 2014. Joe Nemechek owned it before him and he purchased it from Ernie Irvan, another NASCAR driver, who built the current 9,100 square foot house on the lot back in 2001. In total, there are five bedrooms and seven full bathrooms, plus a guest house with another bedroom, and one more in the stable house. It sounds like quite the arrangement for entertaining or hosting multiple guests from out of town. The drivers have each unwound at the vanishing-edge pool, enjoyed some time in the rather nice and large outdoor kitchen with fireplace, plus hit some balls on the putting green. Stenhouse used the massive land to support his personal hobby of raising livestock like longhorn cattle and donkeys. Nemechek reportedly used all that land for equestrian activities, including a huge stable and covered riding area. We can't wait to see how the house and all that land is used by the new owner. It's not known who bought the property, but considering the lofty price and its history, we're going to guess it was yet another NASCAR driver. Images via

How F1: The Movie locked down an astounding $40 million in real sponsorship
The Brad Pitt racing action film F1: The Movie dominated the box office over its opening weekend, pulling in $55.6 million domestically and $144 million world wide. It's the best performance not only for an Apple original film, it's also the biggest opening weekend for any live-action movie based on racing (it beat out Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby's $47 million). THE BEST RACING MOVIES OF ALL TIME: The 9 greatest racing films ever While the budget of F1: The Movie has been estimated anywhere from $200-$300 million, a piece of that has apparently been chipped away by actual sponsorship sales. In the fictional story, washed up driver Sonny Hayes (Pitt) ends up joining the APX GP Formula 1 racing team alongside up-and-coming rookie Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris). While APX GP isn't a real team, the sponsorships for the driving team certainly were. According to Forbes, producer David Leneer racked up around $40 million in actual sponsorships, including Mercedes, OMP, Tommy Hilfiger, Shark, Geico, EA Sports and APX GP's main sponsor Expensify. Leneer, who Forbes' Matt Craig described as "a pioneer of brand integrations in movies for nearly 30 years," brought in more dollars for F1: The Movie than his other projects like Top Gun: Maverick or the National Treasure and Transformers series. It's a far more natural fit to put brands and logos into a movie that features a sport that is normally covered in brands and logos, but it is certainly a fascinating piece to Apple's latest release.

Method Man Flexes His Muscles At Concert, Sends Lady Fans Into A Frenzy
Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Method Man sent the internet into a frenzy on June 26, when the rapper appeared on the Love B. Scott Instagram page lifting his shirt for a crowd of rowdy fans. The hip-hop icon was performing onstage for a recent stop on the 'Wu-Tang Forever: The Final Chamber tour' when he flashed a glimpse of his perfectly sculpted body for the crowd, sending the audience crazy. Ladies on social media were hot and bothered too, as they couldn't get enough of seeing the rapper's impeccable abs and pecs in the short but sweltering clip. 'I've already rewatched this at least 69 times!' Dr. Catrise Austin-Veneer penned in the comments section. Another user mentioned that the 54-year-old rapper was 'always the fiiione one' out of his Wu-Tang entourage. A third fan simply penned, 'Daaaamn!' While Method Man may be admired by fans for his chiseled physique, fitness holds a much deeper meaning for the Grammy-winning rapper. In a 2020 interview with Men's Health , Clifford Smith—his real name—revealed that his commitment to working out began as a way to combat a severe bout of insomnia. What started as a health necessity has since evolved into a disciplined daily routine that he's maintained ever since. His typical workout begins with a warm-up of wide-grip pull-ups and close-grip chin-ups, followed by an intense strength-training session that includes deadlifts, bent-over rows, seated cable rows, straight-arm pulldowns, weighted neck extensions, and core-focused exercises like ab rollouts and cable crunches. For Method Man, fitness isn't just about looks—it's about mental clarity, consistency, and overall well-being. 'My goal is to get to a point where I can take my shirt off in any setting, basically be the Rock without the tattoos and the movie accolades,' the Hempstead native told the outlet at the time. Well, mission accomplished, Mr. Man! Method Man's dedication to health and fitness has fueled a creative resurgence, giving him the energy to dive into a wave of new music and film projects as of late. In May, he starred alongside Kyra Sedgwick in Bad Shabbos , a Tribeca award-winning comedy that marked a major leading role for the rapper-turned-actor. Just a month later, he dropped a new track titled 'Ricky Bobby' with Rome Streetz and Conductor Williams, proof that Method Man is still at the top of his game, both in the studio and on screen.

Cruise passenger fumes after learning raunchy reason women were flirting with him
They thought he was doing a different kind of 'cruising.' A cruise passenger was steaming mad after he realized the shocking reason why strangers were paying so much attention to him on board, detailing the reveal in a TikTok video with over 19 million views In the viral clip, filmed from his female partner's point of view, content creator Ricky Bobby is seen lounging on the deck of a Carnival Cruise ship with his paramour as fellow passengers ogle, interact with and even touch him. 'They would whisper things under their breath,' she described in the caption. 'And even sometimes flirt with us.' At one point, a woman in a blue swimsuit even grabs him by the hand. Then, all of a sudden, it dawned on the couple why Bobby was so popular on board. 'We heard them say 'look at his pineapple shirt,'' exclaimed his partner as the camera pans to him donning a shirt that's emblazoned with the tropical fruit. While the symbol may seem innocuous or festive, it's also a sign that people are up for swinging, defined by engaging in group sex or swapping sexual partners. This pastime is particularly popular aboard cruise ships, where randy travelers have been known to pin pictures of upside-down pineapples to cabin doors to let fellow pleasure boaters know they're in the mood for a salacious switcheroo on the high seas. Bobby was reportedly 'p–sed' over his accidental SOS (sex on ship) signal, per the clip, which ends with the embarrassed content creator sitting on the deck chair without his pineapple-riddled attire. However, commenters found it hilarious that he inadvertently let his 'freaky' flag fly. 'Just looked up what upside down pineapple means. Howling,' said one bemused commenter, while another wrote, 'Blue swimsuit was trying to get chosen.' In fact, Bobby claimed that the latter woman even reached out to him on TikTok following the incident, writing, 'HEY GUYS!! BLUE SWIMSUIT GURL FOUND ME ON TIKTOK.' Others shared similar moments of sending mixed signals via pineapple-themed couture. 'I made the same mistake, I got called out by the comedian on the cruise ship during his show,' said one embarrassed commenter. 'The rest of the cruise I was called Mr. pineapple shirt. I had no idea…most def threw it in the trash.' 'Me and my ex didn't know and had matching pineapple shirts on a cruise — we were like people are so nice and keep talking to us.'
