PHOTOS: Two people were reportedly hospitalized after a large fire broke out at a house connected to a star NASCAR driver in North Carolina on Sunday. The blaze was sparked the night of Dec. 28 along Blacksnake Road in Gaston County. Lucia-Riverbend firefighters said several fire departments from across Gaston and Lincoln counties were called to the home.

Pictures shared by the Lucia-Riverbend Fire Department showed the main part of the house engulfed in tall flames, with much of the home gone by the time the fire was out. “We are thankful for the multiple agency response and ask that the public be in prayer for the affected family and our first responders in fire, GEMs and police,” the department wrote on Facebook.

Tax records connected the property to a company owned by NASCAR star Denny Hamlin, as well as his father, Dennis Hamlin. The Athletic’s Jordan Bianchi reported that two people were hospitalized after the fire, although it was not immediately clear who, nor how bad their injuries were.
