Brett Hearn is a full-time modified stock car driver from Kinnelon, New Jersey. He currently races at Lebanon Valley Speedway in Lebanon Valley, New York and at Albany-Saratoga Speedway in Malta, New York. He is also a competitor in the Super DIRTcar Series.
Hearn has amassed 919 wins in a stock car over the course of his professional career which has spanned four decades. He won his first-ever Modified feature event at Nazareth Speedway and was the last Modified driver to score a win on the half-mile track because weeks later, the track was torn down to make way for a strip mall and grocery store.

Personal life

Born in Paterson, New Jersey to parents Gordon and Kay, Hearn got his first taste of racing when he was 8-years old at the Orange County Fair Speedway in Middletown, NY. Brett began driving go-karts and when he turned 16, his father Gordon encouraged Brett to try stock car racing. His dad bought a car from Glen Carlson and the Hearn's built the engine in their family room. Brett crashed his No. 20 blue-and-silver Pinto-body car the first time out and a number of other times.

He is the owner of BH Enterprises, Inc. which consists of his racing team, fabrication shop, driving school and performance equipment manufacturer.
