Racing career

In 2007, Philpott would make his debut in the NASCAR West Series at Altamont Motorsports Park, driving the No. 52 Ford for Pacific Motorsports, having previously failed to qualify for the Irwindale Speedway event earlier in the year; he would start twelfth but would finish in 22nd after suffering a fuel line issue halfway through the race. It was during this year that he would win the NASCAR Western Late Model championship at Altamont.[2] [3] He would then run four more races in the West Series the following year, getting a best finish of thirteenth at Altamont.

Afterwards, Philpott would not compete for the next two years, but were eventually make his return to the series in 2011. That year, he ran the first twelve races of the year for Mike Holleran in the No. 38 Ford before driving for his own team for the final two races of the year at All American Speedway and Phoenix International Raceway; it was in the former event where he would get his best result of the year in seventh place. He would go on to finish ninth in the final points standings with four top-ten finishes.[4] He would return to run the full schedule in 2012, this time for his own team in the No. 52 Ford, where he would finish tenth in the points standings. Philpott would then run the first two races of the following season for Dwayne Koski, finishing 27th at Phoenix due to a crash, and 24th at Stockton 99 Speedway after running twelve laps due to overheating issues.

From 2014 to 2020, Philpott would compete in various series such as the SRL Spears Southwest Tour Series, the Budweiser Crown Series, the and Pacific Challenge Series.[5]

In 2021, Philpott would return to the now ARCA Menards Series West at Sonoma Raceway, driving the No. 52 Chevrolet for his own team, Philpott Race Cars, where he would start twentieth and finish on the lead lap in ninth place. He would return to Sonoma the following season, where he would finish seventeenth due to a crash late in the race, and would run at Portland International Raceway later in the year, finishing in sixth. In 2023, Philpott would run at both Portland and Sonoma, failing to finish in both races placing 19th at Portland due to engine issues midway through the race,[6] and 26th at Sonoma due to axle issues,[7] before making his first oval start since 2013 at Shasta Speedway, where he would finish thirteenth.[8]
