John Sears

John Hamilton "Big" Sears (May 9, 1936 – November 1, 1999) was a NASCAR Grand National and Winston Cup Series driver from Ellerbe, North Carolina, USA.

Sears competed in 318 Cup Series events in his career, earning forty-eight top-fives, 127 top-tens, two poles, and five top-ten point finishes. Sears was known for driving his salmon-colored No. 4 car that he personally owned. He debuted in Savannah driving John Black's No. 81 to a decent eighth-place finish. The best points finish for Sears was fifth, which he achieved back-to-back in 1967 and 1968. He retired after a dismal 1973 season in which he was plagued with engine and mechanical failures.
