NASCAR team owner Richard Childress has put up his Florida home near Daytona Beach for sale for $1.295 million, according to Premier Sotheby’s International Realty.

The home, which Childress bought from fellow NASCAR Hall of Famer Mark Martin in 2013, is a golf course residence located in Port Orange and just short drive to Daytona Beach, where NASCAR’s official headquarters is located.

According to Yahoo Finance, Childress is selling the house for $300,000 more than what he paid for it.

According to the original listing, the two-story house is a marvel of elegance inside the Spruce Creek Fly-In Community, which offers a 4,000-foot runway for private aircraft.

“With its stunning interior design and sought-after location, this residence offers a unique living experience for a passionate aviator and discerning buyer,” Rachel McGrath, the real estate agent for Premier Sotheby’s, told Orlando Business Journal.
