Supercars: Supercars title race heats up after Townsville drama.
Jessica Dane has sold her stake in Triple Eight Race Engineering, ending her family’s involvement in the title-leading Supercars team founded by her father, Roland Dane , in 2003.
“Additionally, I need to be able to give my all to settling into life in the US, and every obligation I have in Australia detracts from that, which I don’t feel is fair for Triple Eight. She rejoined the team in 2012 as media manager after three years of study in the UK and later rose to the rank of team co-ordinator and communications manager and eventually co-owner, taking a stake in the business in 2015 that increased to 30 per cent following the company’s major restructure in 2021.“We can’t ignore Jess’s enormous contribution to the team over her incredible tenure,” he said.
“It leaves a bad taste in your mouth, because at the end of the day we’re trying to make commercial decisions, and it makes us look really bad … like we’re jumping ship at the first sign of troubled waters. And that’s not the case,” Nine has reported that Dane, Evans and Blackmore struck the deal to exchange shares on the sidelines of that race at Sonoma Raceway in California.Blackmore said driver sponsorship had “fuelled desire to purchase an equity stake in a team”.
Evans added that his and Blackmore’s positions would be to bolster the current company hierarchy rather than shake things up.
