Trailer just a bit too far from the track for you liking? Drop that torturous race-day commute and get in with Dale Earnhardt, Jr., who PRNEWSCHANNEL reported was the first buyer at a new condo complex located in the surely idyllic area less than one mile from the track.

“The Legacy Condominiums at Talladega are being marketed to race teams, drivers, corporate sponsors and die-hard fans. It is located less than one mile from the speedway.“

Earnhardt has won five of his 17 NASCAR Sprint Cup victories at the track, which injects some sense into the purchase. What also does is the fact that he’s obscenely wealthy and can drop money on buying property at a place he spends only a few days a year.

What with the sub-prime mortgage crisis being what it is, I can’t imagine many lending agencies are going to allow the demographic that would be interested in these properties to take out high interest loans on no credit. They’ll just have to stick with living in the mobile meth labs and like it.
