Earl completed another season on the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series in 2009 winning three events, two at Brownstown Speedway in Brownstown, IN and one win at the Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, MO. Earl would finish third in the final national series points standings behind Jimmy Owens and Scott Bloomquist the 2009 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Champion. Earl's 2009 Lucas Oil Series stats would end up with 3 wins, 12 Top 5 finishes, and 24 Top 10 ten finishes in 40 events. Earl would win the PBM Hard Charger points category in 2009 along with the Sunoco race For gas points standings on the series in 2009. Earl also set fast time 3 times and won 9 heat races on the series in 2009.

"We had a good year this year. Of course we would have liked to have won another Series Championship, but we had too many DNF's this year for whatever reason. We tried a new chassis at the beginning of the season and I just seem to be too inconsistent in the Rocket so we went back to the Mastersbilt and really started running alot better. Scott and Jimmy ran well all year and we just got too far behind to catch them. All in all it was a good year and were looking forward to going to Lowes Dirt track and finish the season hopefully with another win there", stated Earl Pearson Jr.
