First, NASCAR took to the skies with the Air Force, then stormed the beach with the Marines and took to the sea with the Navy. Even the Civil Air Patrol is represented.

Now, America's infantry gets into the action.

The Buzz has learned the U.S. Army may sponsor MB2 Motorsports' No. 36 Pontiac in 2003.

Sources say it's unknown if Ken Schrader will remain as driver. Details regarding length of sponsorship were not known.

The Air Force sponsors the No. 34 Ford in the Busch Series, the Marines sponsor Bobby Hamilton Jr.'s No. 25 Busch Series ride and the U.S. Navy adorns Jon Wood's No. 50 Ford in the Craftsman Truck Series.

No word was available on next year's paint scheme for the No. 36, although there definitely may be a hint of camouflage.
