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.
