Meet Bob...

Bob Accardo is a dynamic figure in the world of auto racing and business. He began his grassroots racing career in 2003, competing in Western States Dwarf Car Association events at dirt oval tracks across Northern California. Bob showcased his talent in regional and national competitions until 2009. Seeking new challenges in 2010, he built a 1967 Ford Mustang road race car and effortlessly completed NASA NorCal's HPDE driving program, earning his race license. Over the next decade, Bob made a name for himself in Time Trial (TT) events at renowned California racetracks, including Sonoma Raceway and WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.

Bob made his professional auto racing debut on May 1, 2021, in the SCCA Trans-AM Series Festival of Speed at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, driving the #18 Chateau Electric-sponsored Ford Mustang TA2 car for Mike Cope Racing. Despite facing technical difficulties that resulted in a DNF, Bob returned triumphantly to Laguna Seca on August 1, 2021, for his debut in the US Touring Car Championship GT class. Driving his own #29 Accurate Arms/RACE Marketing-sponsored Howe Chevrolet Camaro, he secured pole position and led the race from start to finish, earning a win and the 'Top Rookie' award.

Born and raised in Pleasanton, CA, Bob graduated from Amador Valley High School in 1996. In addition to his racing career, Bob is the owner and operator of Accurate Arms. To manage his racing-related ventures, he established RACE Marketing USA in 2019. Before his racing career, Bob competed as a rodeo cowboy in bull riding along the West Coast.

Bob resides in Livermore, CA, with his wife and two children, enjoying the picturesque wine country while managing his businesses. His diverse background and passion for competition make him a remarkable figure in both the racing and business communities.
