Horrible news. Joe was really beginning to come into his own as a team owner. An extremely promising career and life cut way short.
Adding Josef Newgarden to JTR was one of Joe's last proven accomplishments as he continued to have a keen eye when it came to indentifying a true talent. May the team stay strong & focused during this difficult time. Go out win that Championship for Joe.
Truly terrible news. This man could have made it as a driver was well on his way as a team owner. Sad.
Our hearts go out to all the family and friends who knew Joe, how very very sad. Joe has always had a keen motorsport interest and had a many a battle with my brother Russ back in the mini stox day. It seems Joe and brother Nick have come such a very long way, how very sad to see a young talented lad so sadly taken.
Those involved in Motorsport will know you get to know alot of drivers, most you don't miss but people like Joe and his family you don't ever forget. For there brilliant skill and the pleasurable memories you hold having battled it out for many a Mini Stox Title!
A true sporting Gentlemen.
God Bless you all x
