Tommy Ellis is an American former stock car racing driver who competed in the 1970s and 1980s. Often referred to as "Terrible" Tommy Ellis for his rough tactics, he won the last national late model sportsman championship in 1981, the final year before the format changed from "points chasing" late model sportsman racing at various short tracks across the country to the current touring format, currently known as the Xfinity Series, the next year. He won the successor series in 1988.
