"It was quite a surprise and it was an honor that he would even consider us to represent Martinsville in that way," said owner Colleen Butker, "we spent a little extra time on this box just to make sure it was a little extra special."
The Mayor and Vice Mayor also presented the Ambassador with a pen and letter opener set from local artist Terry Mitchell and a gift basket from Martinsville Speedway.
