Andy Pearson Racing (AKA Pearson Racing and Pearson Motorsports) is a racing team competing in the Federated Auto Racing Championships.

The team is owned by FARC Lowe Dollar Series legend Andy Pearson, who founded his own team in the 1980s and won three of his four championships in his #2 Smash Beer car. The team expanded to a multi-car operation, but by 2008 was struggling to qualify for races and with funding. Pearson elected to merge his team with that of his former rival, Paul Sweeney, forming Pearson-Sweeney Motorsports.

The Pearson Racing name would be dormant until 2014, when Pearson, now retired from the Lowe Dollar Series, decided to open a team in the new Regional Cup tour without Sweeney's involvement. He would race alongside his sons, former Lowe Dollar Series driver Matt, and rookie Kyle. Andy and Matt moved on to the Super Series in 2015, and Andy won the championship in 2016.

In late 2018, Paul Sweeney announced he would be leaving FARC to move his investments to other racing series. Pearson is once again the sole owner of his FARC team, currently fielding cars in the Lowe Dollar Series for Nicholas Radcliff, Billy Ray Smith-Thompson, and Stefan Wodarcyzk. Andy and Matt Pearson continue to compete in the Larry Lemon Super Series, and the team also provides technical support to Harry S. Enola and his Fat Boy Racing team in the Lowe Dollar Series.
