Alexander Rullo (born 15 June, 2000) is an Australian racing car driver. He contested the 2016 Supercars Dunlop Series, finishing 17th overall for Lucas Dumbrell Motorsport. In February 2017 it was confirmed that Rullo would race in the 2017 Supercars Championship for the same team and become the youngest driver in the championship's history.
Alex Rullo made his debut in the V8 Touring Car National Series at the age of 14, winning a race in his second event. He managed to win four races out of the 15 contested and finished the season second overall for MW Motorsport.
Rullo made his Development Series debut for Lucas Dumbrell Motorsport in 2016, driving a Castrol-backed Holden VF Commodore for the full season. Rullo's best race finish was sixth (twice) and he finished 17th in the championship.
In February 2017, an announcement was made that 16 year old Rullo was to make his Supercars debut with Lucas Dumbrell Motorsport, the team which he raced with in the Development Series the year prior. Coincidentally, the previous driver to hold the record was Paul Dumbrell, the brother of Lucas, who debuted in 1999. It was reported that Alex would run the number #62 in which he had raced since his karting days. Rullo did not qualify for the new-for-2017 CAMS Superlicense, and was given special dispensation to be reviewed on a race-by-race basis.
