Brett Hearn (born September 1, 1958) is a full-time 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 competitor in the Super DIRTcar Series.

Hearn has amassed 892 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. He competed in twenty Nationwide Series events in his career, spanning from 1985 to 1989. He earned just one top-ten: a 10th at Dover International Speedway and earned his best points finish of 41st in 1986.

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 currently resides in Vernon Township, New Jersey. He has two children, Brooke (born 4/11/92) Tyler (born 6/18/95). He is the owner of BH Enterprises, Inc. which consists of his racing team, fabrication shop, driving school and performance equipment manufacturer. Besides racing his other hobbies and interests include jet skiing, golfing and fishing.
