Kevin Harvick shells out $6,750,000 to buy ‘Ricky Bobby’s’ mansion from Talladega Nights in North Carolina: Reports

NASCAR legend Kevin Harvick retired from Cup Series racing earlier this month. The Phoenix finale was Harvick's last racing full-time in NASCAR's top tier.

The former Stewart-Haas Racing driver has now reportedly splurged a whopping $6.75 million to buy the infamous Ricky Booby's mansion from the movie Talladega Nights.

Harvick and his wife, DeLana, purchased the mansion from previous owner Dan Moore for a discount price of roughly $3.3 million, as per American Business Journals. It was initially listed for sale in March, for an eye-watering $9.9 million.

The 2014 NASCAR champion shot to fame as the driver who replaced Dale Earnhardt after his fatal crash in Daytona. The former Richard Childress Racing driver won 60 Cup Series races, and an Xfinity Series championship, among many other accolades.

The mansion is located in the gated Connor Quay neighborhood. It has an area of a little over 12,000 square feet, according to Charlotte Business Journal.

The Closer will be spotted in the FOX Sports' NASCAR broadcasting booth next season covering the 2024 Cup Series. Kevin Harvick will join Clint Bowyer and Mike Joy in the booth. He announced earlier this year:

"I have done a lot a lot of things in the booth and knew that was somewhere that I wanted to be because I like talking about the sport. I like to be able to tell stories and be a part of the broadcast and that's something that I have enjoyed." (Quotes via Fox Sports)

Harvick's move has been appreciated by fellow NASCAR drivers, Denny Hamlin and Joey Logano.
