Veteran NASCAR driver Kurt Busch is selling two properties in Virginia Beach, VA: an undeveloped, quarter-acre oceanfront lot for $1.5 million, and a 3,371-square-foot penthouse apartment for $1.95 million.

His oceanfront property is located at the northern tip of the Croatan Beach neighborhood, with the Atlantic Ocean on one side and Lake Wesley on the other. Croatan Beach is one of the best surf spots in Virginia; it’s also home to the annual Coastal Edge East Coast Surfing Championship. The listing was first spotted by The Virginian-Pilot.

As for his penthouse at The Residences at The Westin Virginia Beach Town Center, Busch has had a difficult time finding a buyer. He purchased the three-bedroom, 3.5-bath apartment in 2009 for $2.81 million.

He listed the apartment in 2013 for $2.8 million and relisted it the following year for the same price. In March, he put the apartment back on the market, but dropped the price to $1.95 million.
