Our Sunday paper had Mike Smith's Petty tribute cartoon. Those of us who have grown up with the Pettys know that this is exactly what is happening "up there."

I only wish the gates of heaven in Mike's cartoon had been wider. That way, he could have put Alan Kulwicki, Davey Allison, Clifford Allison, Neil Bonnett and Tim Richmond -- not to mention the other members of the NASCAR racing "family" who have died before their time -- standing there with Adam and his grandfather.
