STANLEY, N.C. — One person has died, and another is seriously hurt after a fire at a Gaston County home where neighbors say NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin’s parents live, officials said Monday.
Officials have not confirmed the name of the deceased or the person with life-threatening injuries.
The call came in around 6 p.m. Sunday at a home along Blacksnake Road, which is not far from Upper Stanley Road.
Crews said when they arrived at the home in Stanley, two people were already outside the home and were rushed to a hospital.
It took nearly a dozen different departments to put it out, because that part of Stanley does not have fire hydrants, which means all water had to be trucked in.

Property records indicate the home is owned by Denny Hamlin.
Officials said they would release more information Monday afternoon.
The cause is under investigation.
No additional details have been made available.
