Black Diamond Race Cars House Car Team and Earl Pearson Jr. Ending Tenure
Team Will Make Final Starts Together During this Weekend’s LOLMDS Events

SHREVEPORT, La. (09/01/21) – Earl Pearson Jr. will make his final start in the Lucas Oil No. 1 P&W Sales/ Drive4Etch.com/ Clements Racing Engines Inc./ Black Diamond Race Team House Car during this weekend’s Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) events.

The amicable split comes as Pearson Jr. and the Ronnie and Terri Stuckey owned team look to pursue different endeavors moving forward. (Heath Lawson Photo)

“Earl is and will always be one of my very best friends, and we wish him nothing but the best as he takes his racing career in a different direction. We’ve enjoyed having him pilot our House Car over the past four years, and now we are looking ahead to the future,” Ronnie Stuckey stated. “We are currently working toward some future endeavors for the remainder of the 2021 season, and also are looking to hit some big shows this Fall. Past this year, we are already plotting out our plans for 2022, which will include a run at a national tour as well as many of the crown jewel events.

While the details of who will be driving the Black Diamond House Car in 2022 aren’t finalized yet, Stuckey plans to take advantage of time away for the Lucas Oil Schedule to be closer to home to go racing with his sons.

“Both Clayton and Jarret are making some big gains early in their racing careers, and I haven’t had the opportunity to go to the track with them near as much as I would’ve liked. With us not being on the road with the national tour for the rest of the year, this will give me a great chance to go spend some time at the track with both of them, and that’s got me excited,” Ronnie Stuckey shared. “I was at the track for Jarret’s first win, and I want to make sure I’m there for Clayton’s first one as well. You just can’t put a price tag on the value of that kind of family time in racing.”

As further details are confirmed they will be posted on the team’s cyber home at www.RaceBlackDiamond.com .

He don’t have the same demons Bloomer does. I think EPJ can stop probably get it done in a quality ride. Problem is, quality rides are getting harder and harder to come by.

Earl does have provisionals and a big Lucas sticker to help his search for a ride.

This basically says they’re dropping off the tour after the Hillbilly. I’m not sure what that does with the provisionals.

You’re right about the sticker though. That’s a pretty powerful negotiating tool.

That ride would look good with a 23 on it from time to time.

The provisional gets him in something to finish the year, if chooses. Then that helps a bunch over the winter, heading to East Bay.

This is good news. Put Earl in a Longhorn with all the fixins and I bet he's a points contender next year.

Yep I totally agree he needs to get in a longhorn and go win a few races no he's not ever going to be good as he used to be but I think in a longhorn he CAN win

The fact he runs better in the feature a lot of nights, makes me think he's actually done.

I'd bet you a $1,000 dollars he wouldn't even finish top 5.

I read awhile back Papich had the contract to fix the washed out section of highway 1 in CA. It was like $21 mil or something.

When Earl reels off a few in the next couple months, let’s come back and revisit that thousand dollar wager about him finishing top 5 next year somebody……I think it’s gonna be good, getting the band back together.

If it's a black Diamond who is going to want the ride is the question ? Keep building crate cars for your kids because that's about all there good for. EPJ should have bailed on that ride long time ago. BWRC with that big sticker on the front or possibly a Mastersbuilt ? Remember the make Mastersbuilt great again...
