The United States Marine Corps will celebrate its 227th birthday at Phoenix International Raceway on November 9, 2002. As a tribute to all Marines, past and present, that have made personal sacrifices protecting our country, Team Rensi Motorsports is giving the #25 Team Marines Ford a new look for the Bashas 200. Celebrating the birthday of the Marine Corps is a time-honored tradition and one that is never forgotten by a Marine. It was on November 10, 1775 that the Marine Corps was created by a resolution of the Continental Congress, however, formal commemoration of the birthday didnt begin until 1921.(Team Rensi PR)(11-7-2002)
