Trans Am Hall of Fame: Bob Tullius

February 16, 2025

Quite literally one of the first winners in Trans Am history, Bob Tullius drove to victory in the Trans Am Series’ inaugural event, winning the Over 2-Liter class alongside teammate Tony Adamowicz in a four-hour event at Sebring International Raceway. The same duo won again in a 12 Hour event at Marlboro Motor Raceway, and Tullius then drove to victory in the 1967 season opener at Daytona International Speedway. Tullius is perhaps best remembered as one of America’s finest representatives of British cars. In 1977, he scored six wins in the Jaguar XJ-S to win the TA championship, and went back to back to win the championship in 1978 with seven victories. The following year, he won three events in the Triumph TR9, and the last of his 21 victories came in 1981.
