Walkinshaw happy with Supercars passion

Supercars team owner Ryan Walkinshaw has dismissed any suggestion he lacks the passion required to be successful in the championship.

Outgoing Walkinshaw Andretti United (WAU) driver James Courtney created a stir ahead of this weekend's Auckland SuperSprint saying his team lacked a figure similar to Red Bull Holden Racing Team principal Roland Dane.

"I think Ryan does love the team and everything but I think it just lacked that - I'll probably regret saying this - but that Roland-like figure that's there and sort of, not that you have to beat the desk, but is there (with) passion and skin in the game," Courtney told Fox Sports.
