Racing career

McGilton began racing at the age of eight in dirt bikes and moved up to the Arena Cross Series. After spending time as a rodeo competitor in steer wrestling,[2] he resumed racing as a hobby in go-karts and off-road racing, before eventually moving up to stock cars. After graduating from Fast Track Driving School, he made his debut in the ARCA RE/MAX Series at Michigan International Speedway in 2006. In six starts in the No. 42 Ford, he earned a best finish of 9th at Kansas Speedway. In 2007, McGilton signed with the Brewco Motorsports driver development program in the No. 47 Ford Fusion, and finished sixth in points, runner-up to Michael McDowell for the SunTrust Rookie of the Year award. He earned eight top 10s, including a career best finish of 3rd at The Milwaukee Mile.

After the 2007 season, McGilton paid to race for Bill Davis Racing to drive the No. 22 Toyota Tundra in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series for the full 2008 season.[3] In four races, he earned a best finish of 10th at California Speedway and did not finish worse than 16th. After the Kroger 250 at Martinsville, he was released and replaced by Scott Speed. After his release, his businesses were shut down.
