Racing career

In 2008, Bull made his debut in the ARCA Re/Max Series at New Jersey Motorsports Park, driving his self-owned No. 97 Ford, where he started 39th and finished multiple laps down in 32nd. He then made another start at New Jersey the following year, this time driving the No. 7, where he qualified in nineteenth but went on to finish 27th due to suspension issues. In 2010, he made a start at Palm Beach International Raceway, where he started and finished in 23rd, whilst also making another start at New Jersey, where he qualified in 23rd and finished in sixteenth. Between 2011 and 2012, Bull finished in the top-twenty in both New Jersey events, getting a best finish of sixteenth in the latter year. In 2013, Bull made a start at Road America, where he started in sixteenth but finished in eighteenth due to suffering transmission issues halfway through the race. He also made another start at New Jersey, where he started in sixteenth and finished two laps down in fourteenth place.{{cite web|url=https://www.raceweekillustrated.com/2013/07/30/andrew-ranger-takes-arca-win-again-at-new-jersey/|title=Andrew Ranger Takes ARCA Win Again At New Jersey |work=Race Week Illustrated|access-date=March 19, 2024}}
