Trueman Ellison (birth date and location unknown) is a race car driver and businessman currently residing in the United States. Little is known about his early life, but it is believed he was born in Eastern Europe in the 1970s. He has been noted for his eccentric behavior and speech patterns off-track.

At an unknown date, Ellison moved to the United States and worked as a realtor, leather jacket importer, and filmmaker, before using his earnings to begin an auto racing career. He appeared in the FARC Lowe Dollar Series for the 2015 Rookie Shootout and drew the pole, but it became quickly apparent that his equipment was not up to speed with the rest of the field. Ellison would only qualify for one points race that season, at Columbia Speedway.

Ellison returned in 2016, and while he qualified for more races, he continued to flounder in the back of the field, until he suddenly scored an upset victory at Talladega Superspeedway; continuing FARC's tradition of underdog winners, along with Max Schivelen in the second race of the doubleheader.

Ellison managed to secure further funding to compete full-time in the FARC Super Series in 2017, in addition to his part-time Lowe Dollar Series schedule, with his driving skills continuing to develop. By 2018, Ellison emerged as a full-fledged dark horse in the Lowe Dollar Series, stealing his second career victory with a last-lap pass at Karl's Superstore Jonesboro. Thanks to FARC's new "Best of 10" championship format, he finished 16th in the points standings, and attracted the attention of some TM Master Cup owners for a possible call-up in 2019.

Ellison would ultimately sign a deal with Scuderia Tutino, joining the Italian underdogs in the #50 Volpi for the 2019 season. He continued to field the #03 car in FARC, now driven by his friend Mark.

Beyond his driving and team ownership ventures, Ellison and a group of investors funded the re-opening of the Roswell Speedway in New Mexico, where he reportedly has many friends and family. Ellison nearly won FARC's first visit to the reopened speedway, but was bested by Billy Ray Smith-Thompson in the closing laps.
