Supercars Queensland: Broc Feeney extends lead despite losing second win to penalty
Triple Eight's Broc Feeney and Will Brown have completed a day of dominance at Queensland Raceway, with two wins and a 1-2 finish. Racing at the Ipswich circuit for the first time in six years, the two Chevrolet Camaros clearly were the cars to beat, with Feeney taking the opening race easily. In the second he looked on course to make it double until officials determined that he had crept by an inch or two at the start of the race, prompting them to hit the championship points leader with a five-second penalty. As a result, Feeney returned to the track second, behind Brown. Try as he might, he could not find a way past the defending Champion, who had lost out in an early skirmish in the first 39-lap encounter, in which he finished fourth. 'Great to get a win finally, not really the way we wanted to do it,' said Brown, who took his first victory since the Albert Park round in March. Will Brown, Triple Eight Race Engineering Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 'I wasn't going to let him past, that's for sure. I knew if I let him get to my rear bar and his tyres heated up, he would struggle to get past me. Feeney accepted his penalty magnanimously. 'I obviously didn't do anything different but they said I was moving at the start. Fair enough,' said Feeney who, with the results, sealed the Sprint Cup section of the 2026 Championship, and thereby is seeded automatically into the inaugural Finals. 'I was able to get a bit of a gap at the start but Will was fast at the last one [stint].' Third was a great result for Walkinshaw Andretti United's Ryan Wood, backing up the same result in the opening race, after a particularly strong effort in the twin Qualifying sessions, starting the races from second and third on the grid. He made a solid getaway in the opening race but he dropped like a stone in the second, forcing him to fight his way onto the podium. Anton De Pasquale was fourth for Team 18 ahead of Cameron Waters (Tickford Ford), who had a disastrous opening race after spearing off early. Broc Feeney, Triple Eight Race Engineering Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 In the opening race Feeney was the best to deal with a track that started out damp, to take the win after making his compulsory pitstop late in the race compared to his rivals. In a race that ended under a safety car after two cars speared off, a very impressive Kai Allen was second, his Grove Racing Mustang emerging from a three-car ruck early in the race to secure a career-best placing. Wood's third place made it the youngest-ever podium in the history of the Touring Car/Supercars championship. It was a tough day for Chaz Mostert. What might have been a good opening race from fourth on the grid ended before the green light, when he pitted with brake problems. In the second race he found himself stuck in a multi-car train before finishing strongly to get to seventh. The results see Feeney extend his points lead. He is on 1918 points, 232 ahead of Brown, who is on 1686. Matt Payne is in third for Grove Racing on 1609, from Waters (1419), Mostert (1319) and Dick Johnson Racing's Brodie Kostecki (1176). The Supercars will be back on track on Sunday at 10:20am Brisbane time for a 30-minute qualifying session. There will be a Top 10 Shoot Out at 11:40am and the single, 63-lap race is due to start at 3:15pm.

Supercars Townsville: Broc Feeney triumphs for Triple Eight in finale
Triple Eight and Broc Feeney have emerged as the winners from a battle of strategies in the third and final Supercars race at the Reid Park street circuit in Townsville. From pole position Feeney led away and his Chevrolet Camaro looked to have the best combination of speed and tyre life of any of the leaders. Advertisement But he faced a challenge from Cam Waters, who rode a daring strategy for Tickford Racing, making the first of two pitstops on lap 15, a full 14 laps before Feeney. That undercut vaulted Waters to the lead before Feeney caught him in his second stint and re-established the lead. In the end Waters did not have the speed of his rivals, losing second place to Will Brown in the other Triple Eight car, which chased hard but which fell 3.01s short of Feeney at the flag. 'Huge credit to Will, that was the hardest race I have had in the long time. He was definitely the faster guy today,' Feeney said, after his ninth win in the last 12 races. 'I didn't really think we had the race to win those couple of races.' Brown had to the satisfied with second after such a difficult start to the weekend: 'It was a tough one, I was trying to get onto the back of Broc but I didn't have anything for him at the end. Advertisement Cameron Waters, Tickford Racing Ford Mustang GT Cameron Waters, Tickford Racing Ford Mustang GT 'We have really good race pace but nothing in qualifying. I was 20th in qualifying on the first day and then 10th and eighth, and to come through to second today was good.' After his second stop Waters did not get quite the same gain as after his first, and he lost third place to Walkinshaw Andretti United's Chaz Mostert with 12 laps remaining. Behind Waters, fifth place went to Matt Payne who, along with his Grove Racing team-mate Kai Allen, was slowed in the first pitstop by what appeared to be a delay in the new-for-2025 fuel churn system attaching to the team's two Fords. Advertisement Anton De Pasquale was next in the Team 18 Chevrolet after starting third and challenging Feeney over the opening laps, ahead of WAU's Ryan Wood, Tickford's Thomas Randle and Bryce Fullwood for Brad Jones Racing. With two wins over the weekend Feeney has built on the 183-point lead he brought to Queensland and now leads by 220 points, with Brown moving back into second place. The 2025 Supercars championship will return to action at Queensland Raceway, for the eighth round of the series and the final round of the Sprint Cup Series, on 8-10 August.
