McGill Motorsports is a NASCAR Busch Series team owned by John and Nancy McGill. It currently field the #36 Chevy for Brent Sherman.
The team debuted in 2003 as DCT Motorsports with Steve Grissom driving the #61 Chevrolet in three races. For their final two races of the season they changed their number and ran the #36 Chevrolet. DCT would post its best finish of the season at Richmond, a 14th place finish. In 2004, Steve Grissom and Travis Geisler would drive the car at the start of the season. Grissom left the team in May 2004 and Geisler took over full time driving duties for the team. Stanton Barrett would finish out the final three races of the season as the team's driver. Grissom would have the best finish of the year for the team, when he finished 11th at Rockingham.
For the 2005 season, Stanton Barrett returned to the team and ran the first 26 races with DCT. T. J. Bell would then take over the car for eight races and Tim Sauter would run the final race of the season. Barrett would give DCT its first ever top ten finish when he finished 10th at New Hampshire. That would also be the best finish for the team during the year. In 2006, the team changed their name to McGill Motorsports and Sauter returned to drive the full schedule. Lester Buildings also joined the team as the primary sponsor for 25 races. Sauter ran 23 races but did not finish in the top ten. In August, Max Papis and Jeff Green filled in for Sauter, who claimed that McGill was punishing him for a rules infraction earlier in the month.[1] He left the team with three races to go in the season. and Papis and Brent Sherman will finished out the final two races of the season. Sherman will drive for the team full-time in 2007 with sponsorship from Big Lots.
