God Bless your family. A mess you've left. Never to be forgotten. I miss the "I'm still here". I guess I'll be the one to say I'm still here. I miss you so much. But I know you are better now as peace comes to you.

Curt Houge First off I would like to offer my sincere condolences to Joel's family. I met Joel (Joe) the first summer that I started racing, for no apparent reason Joel took me under his wing, which was a huge benefit for me and our crew, Jim Tweet, we spent numerous nights, after the races, talking racing and having a beer. Times like those will never be forgotten and always cherished. I was lucky enough to run into Joel last summer at one of Wayne Larson's roll-ins, had a great time chatting about past and present things. Joel was a large influence on my life. He is one of the people that you meet going down life's path that you are thankful you were given that opportunity I am glad that I could call you, Friend. RIP Joel you
will be missed. Curt Houge

Joel was a good friend of my dad, Bob Colt and my family. I have fun memories of playing with Chris, Jeff & Tim while our parents played cards & partied together. Watching Joel race & cheering him on is the only time i saw my grandma yell lol! My family had some fun times around Joel's racing. He was an Iowa racing legend. He made the Tip Top Lounge cool & they stocked Schlitz just for Joel for many years. He was so proud of his sons. Im so sorry for your loss. He will be missed, but his legend lives on. Hugs to Tim, Chris & Jeff. \u2764\u2764\u2764

Joey was my childhood hero. My Mom, Dad, brother and I saw him race many times through the years at many different tracks here in Iowa. As a young boy he was so good to talk to after the races and signed a great autograph. In recent years I'd occasionally see Joey at my home track, Hamilton County Speedway in Webster City. I always would approach him just to say hi and he was still great to talk to.
My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Rasmussen family, Rest in peace, Joey my hero and friend.

My deepest sympathies. Joel was an awesome driver. My mom and dad would take us to Boone, Webster City, Oskaloosa , Iowa State Fairgrounds and Marshalltown race tracks. We watched Joel drive many times. Always exciting! He had that smile and hair!!
