Who in the racing world bought Ricky Stenhouse Jr.’s $12.2M estate?

Hyak Motorsports driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. recently sold his 140-acre estate near Charlotte, North Carolina, and public tax records revealed that professional race car driver Bob Mueller Jr. bought the place. The co-owner of Streetside Classics reportedly paid three times the money for the Mooresville estate for what it was worth 12 years ago.

Muller Jr. and his wife, Donna, currently live in Mooresville, and the Rowan County public estate named the couple as the new owners of the 140-acre property. Additionally, on Thursday, June 26, 2025, Mrs. Mueller personally confirmed the news to The Charlotte Observer.

The new buyer of Ricky Stenhouse Jr.'s estate, Bob Mueller, is also a motorsports driver. He competes in the Mustang Cup, Mustang Challenge, and other similar events. Also, Mr. Mueller is currently competing in an amateur circuit at Watkins Glen International.

Stenhouse Jr. bought the property over a decade ago, and after getting married to his wife, Madyson Joye, the couple transformed the property into 'Slide Job Ranch,' housing small donkeys and longhorn cows. According to the listing, the 9,000 sq ft estate features five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a fitness training center, a 3-acre pond, and guest housing with a covered horse-riding area.

The Rowan County revealed that the market value of Ricky Stenhouse Jr.'s 140-acre Charlotte estate is around $10.1 million. However, the couple paid $12.1 million, setting a new record in the Charlotte metro region. Previously, the newly constructed mansion on Lake Norman was sold for $11.5 million in July 2024.
