NASCAR is honoring a local woman for her courage despite being bullied.
She's also a national motivational speaker trying to end bullying in our schools.
Gabrielle Ford recently visited Lake Fenton Schools where she was bullied for years for having a neurological disorder that affected her balance and speech.
Ford says, "I hadn't been in the building since I graduated, and I didn't ever want to go back."
She conquered her fear May 20th of this year by going back to Lake Fenton, which NBC25 covered.
NASCAR saw the story on connectmidmichigan.com and decided to give Gabe its ExtenZe Local Hero Award at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Michigan June 13th and a thousand dollar check.
