He was a Nascar racer...   I think most of the people who follow
Nascar simulations on this newsgroup are familiar with him...

I just lurk, but I saw the relevance.

This letter wasn't written for Adam's family, but it was an open
letter to Adam himself.
Everybody deals with death in a different way, and if the writer finds
comfort in writing a letter to Adam and posting it here, I simply
think you should have respect for that.
I found the reply 'maybe they could dig him up' the most disgusting
reply I -ever- saw here :(

Petty *is* one of the bigger names. Someone was posting their thoughts
to him, nothing wrong in that. No one made you read it.
