[1] Alex Rullo made his debut in the V8 Touring Car National Series at the age of 14, winning a race in his second event.

Rullo made his Dunlop Series debut for Lucas Dumbrell Motorsport in 2016, driving a Castrol-backed Holden VF Commodore for the full season.

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.

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.
