Eddie Pearson (born June 21, 1965) is an American former professional stock car racing driver who has previously competed in the ARCA Racing Series. He is the son of three time NASCAR Cup Series champion David Pearson, and the younger brother of former NASCAR Busch Series champion Larry Pearson.[1]

Pearson competed in select events in the NASCAR Dash Series between 1985 and 1996, and select X-1R Pro Cup Series from 1999 to 2001.[2]

In 2005, Pearson made his debut in the ARCA Re/Max Series at the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds dirt track, driving the No. 17 Ford for Brad Hill Racing, where he started sixteenth but finished in 28th due to rear end issues. He would make another start in the series until 2007, where he once again ran at DuQuoin with BHR in the No. 17, where he started in 25th and finished on the lead lap in thirteenth place.[3] He returned in 2008, where he finished a lap down in eighteenth after starting in nineteenth.[4] In 2009, he ran a both DuQuoin and at the Illinois State Fairgrounds dirt track; he finished 22nd at Springfield after starting twelfth, and 25th at DuQuoin after starting in sixth.[5][6]

In 2011, Pearson entered in two races while driving the No. 71 for BHR, failing to qualify at Lucas Oil Raceway, and finishing eighteenth at DuQuoin. He has not competed in any racing series since then.[2]
