Phillip McGilton is on the right track. A strong work ethic and maturity has placed him with a strong contender in Brewco.
McGilton has shown steady impovement in the past year and the results are proof as he is at the top nearly every week in his ARCA standings.
If McGilton continues to impress and win the ROTY in the ARCA Series, the move to Busch should be swift. Once in the Busch Series, everyone will take notice at how professional McGilton is on the track and off.
