It was reported that Alex would run the number No. 62 in which he had raced since his karting days.
Rullo did not qualify for the new-for-2017CAMS Superlicense, and was given special dispensation to be reviewed on a race-by-race basis.[3]

In2019 he raced in the inauguralTCR Australia Touring Car Series forKelly Racing in aHolden Astra TCR.[4]
Making the switch to rallying in 2022, Rullo progressed from a production-specification Mitsubishi to aHyundai i20 N Rally2 for the 2023 season with the backing of internationally recognised rally team, Race Torque Engineering.[5]
In his first full-time season of 2023, he and co-driver Steve Glenney finished 12th in theAustralian Rally Championship (ARC), and shot up to fifth overall in the 2024 season.[6]
Also in the 2024 season, he won the West Australian Rally Championship[7] and took victory on tarmac at the Adelaide Rally.[8]
For the 2025 season, he linked up with formerWorld Rally Championship star,Hayden Paddon, to further progress in the series within the Race Torque Engineering stable.[9]
