He has been advising PremiAir this season and will step into the full-time position of team principal starting January 1, 2026<\/a>.<\/p>\n Quinn, who labelled Dane \u201ca friend from way back\u201d, expressed his disappointment at his return from Supercars retirement.<\/p>\n \u201cI think it\u2019s a shitty move to be honest,\u201d the Scotsman said on the Rusty\u2019s Garage podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not a thing that I would do. I think once you give people your word, that\u2019s your reputation, that\u2019s very important.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s yet to be seen how much of an influence he\u2019s going to have.<\/p>\n \u201cPete Xiberras (PremiAir owner) is his own man, he doesn\u2019t need to be told anything by anybody else. So there\u2019s going to be some interesting discussions in PremiAir\u2019s garage.<\/p>\n \u201cIf I was a betting man, I\u2019d say maybe it won\u2019t go past March.<\/p>\n \u201cI know how they both are and they are both strong individuals with strong opinions.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd although Roland has got the background and the history, he had a great team behind him. This is why Triple Eight is so strong, is because the team that is there, it\u2019s made up of 10 individuals maybe and then the rest of the team that are developing around them. It\u2019s so strong and difficult to beat.\u201d<\/p>\n PremiAir will start with a clean slate of Supercars drivers next year, with Jayden Ojeda<\/a> and Declan Fraser<\/a> taking over from Richie Stanaway<\/a> and Blanchard Racing Team-bound James Golding<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TONY Quinn has shared some strong words for his former Triple Eight co-owner Roland Dane\u2019s emergence at PremiAir…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":247574,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,806,805,803,804,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-247573","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-motosport","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-motor","11":"tag-motor-sports","12":"tag-motosport","13":"tag-motosports","14":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247573","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=247573"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247573\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/247574"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=247573"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=247573"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=247573"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/triple_eight_the_cars_1024x1024.jpg\"\/)
