With a 17th place finish Saturday at the Charter Pipeline 250 in St. Louis,
MO, Bobby Hamilton Jr. and Team Marines captured fifth place in the overall
series points standings. This marks the first time in Team Marines history
this level of success has been attained. Hamilton Jr. had climbed as high as
second during the event and looked to capitalize on others misfortunes. The
increase in points benefits the Marine Corps as the team becomes the subject
of more interviews, TV time and coverage in series events. This enhances the
value of driver and show car events in local area recruiting activities.
