Supercars star Feeney crowned king of Townsville
Brodie Kostecki, the 2023 champion, came up trumps in Friday's 35-lap sprint to win for Shell V-Power Racing, but the weekend well and truly belonged to Feeney.
Feeney finished more than six seconds ahead of Walkinshaw Andretti United's Chaz Mostert on Saturday, and made the most of his pole position on Sunday to beat Triple Eight teammate Brown by more than three seconds.
Brown was right on Feeney's tail with less than 10 laps remaining, but Feeney held his nerve and edged further ahead to wrap up the 70-lap race at Reid Park.

Penrite Racing star Matt Payne started Sunday's event second on the grid, but slipped to third early before finishing fifth.
Mostert came third, more than 12 seconds behind Feeney, with Cameron Waters fourth.
Feeney celebrated his 10th race win of the season with a big burnout before hugging his family members in attendance.
"Huge credit to Will. That was the hardest race I've had in a long time," Feeney said.
"He was definitely the faster guy today and put a lot of pressure on me.
"He had so much pace on me in that last stint. There was a lot of that last stint where I didn't think I was going to be able to hang on.
"I was asking all the questions about where I need to improve.
"But once he got close, within about half a second, he dropped off. I'm guessing his car probably overheated from being behind."
The 120 points Feeney received for Sunday's win boosted his season tally to a dominant 1759 points.
Brown is 220 points behind in second spot, with Matthew Payne a further 15 points away in third.
Feeney became just the ninth driver to claim 10 or more wins in a season, after Shane van Gisbergen, Scott McLaughlin, Craig Lowndes, Jamie Whincup, Mark Skaife, Garth Tander, Marcos Ambrose and Glenn Seton.
"This means a lot. This is a huge win for us. It's an awesome roll we've been on," Feeney said.
"I can't be prouder of everyone at Red Bull Empire racing."

Brown ensured a one-two finish for Triple Eight.
"It was a tough one. I was tyring to get on the back of Broc," he said.
"I didn't have anything for him at the end there, which was disappointing.
"But it was good to be back on the podium. I've had a tough few rounds, that's for sure."
Cameron Hill finished last following brake problems, while Dave Reynolds came 21st after being handed a 15-second penalty for spinning James Courtney.
A loose right wheel forced Will Davison back into the pits in a costly malfunction, with the veteran finishing second last in 23rd spot as a result.

Collingwood coach's worrying confession as skipper faces possible sanction from AFL
Collingwood coach Craig McRae has admitted he's worried his side has lost their "spark" in close games after suffering a second-straight defeat by a goal or less. And Sunday's loss to Fremantle could be compounded by a possible sanction looking over captain Darcy Moore. Moore slid into the back of Josh Treacy after the Dockers player secured the match-sealing mark. Lachie Schultz heaved the ball forward in the dying stages, but it landed in Treacy's arms for a 12.7 (79) to 11.12 (78) victory. Moore came in very late and slid into the back of Treacy on the ground, with his knees collecting the Fremantle player. Treacy cried out in pain as Dockers players remonstrated with Moore, with the umpire paying a 50m penalty to Freo. Moore is likely to attract some attention from the match review officer - even if it's just a fine. Social media was rife with angry reactions to the incident, with many demanding the AFL issues some sort of sanction to the Collingwood skipper. One person wrote: "Darcy Moore should be cited for rough conduct for two knees in the back of Treacy there. Treacy had the mark on the ground and was in a vulnerable position." Craig McRae's concerning admission after Collingwood loss Meanwhile, McRae has expressed concerns over his side's form in close games. Collingwood have been the masters of tight finishes since McRae took over in 2022, but their one-point loss to Freo came nine days after the ladder leaders fell six points short against Gold Coast. The Magpies led by 22 points early in the final quarter on Sunday, but conceded the final four goals to go down by a point. "This is not something you've ever got handled because every game is opportunity," McRae said in his post-game press conference. "Managing those moments will forever be something we need to do. If the scoreboard is an indication, we haven't managed it well enough (in the last two weeks). We've lost three close games this year. Have we lost our spark? You'd hope not. But reality is, we'll keep getting better at it. I'd rather learn these lessons now." The Pies were dominant in inside-50s, winning the count 63-40. But McRae lamented his side's lack of connection up forward. "I had this real inner trust and belief that we were doing enough right in the game ... the pressure was there," McRae said. "It shows how we thought Fremantle were really, really good. When they needed to get the job done, they really came hard. They play a good brand of footy when they're up and going fast. Maybe they should play a bit more of that at times. It's a good version of them." RELATED: Coach rejects Harley Reid claim as Hinkley wows with Ginnivan response Jake Stringer cops sanction from AFL after GWS victory over Essendon Fremantle daring to dream of AFL finals footy The upset victory sends Fremantle into seventh spot - two games clear of the ninth-placed Western Bulldogs - as they aim to play finals footy for the first time since 2022. The Dockers have now beaten five of the other seven top-eight teams, and they are yet to face second-placed Brisbane. "What we've been doing for 10 to 12 weeks now is just live in the moment," coach Justin Longmuir said. "Understand we've got processes to be able to enjoy wins, move on from wins, and then prepare for the (next) opposition. Our fans can get excited. Absolutely. People within our footy club will get excited. But as far as the coaching group and players are concerned, we've just got to enjoy this and then move on." with AAP

Who won the IndyCar race in Toronto? Complete results, leaderboard, crashes as Pato O'Ward chases Alex Palou
Pato O'Ward picks up his second win in the past three IndyCar Series races and cuts into Alex Palou's points edge on the streets of Toronto. O'Ward, who started 10th, wins the 90-lap event under caution over Rinus Veekay, who turns in a season-best performance. Kyffin Simpson completes the podium with a career-best finish, improving 10 positions from his start. Pole-sitter Colton Herta takes 4th. Palou finishes 12th after starting 2nd but retains a points lead of almost two full races over Palou with four remaining. Before today, O'Ward had fared poorly on this track. He had a feeling today would be better when a "bird dropped a load" on his car during the morning warm-up. Marcus Armstrong comes in 14th after starting 3rd, and Louis Foster tumbles to 21st after starting 7th. Team Penske has another rough outing: Will Power finishes 11th, while Josef Newgarden (24th) and Scott McLaughlin (26th) crash out.

Palou's 129-point lead over second-place O'Ward is more than two races of max points. IndyCar expert picks, predictions for Toronto from IndyStar's Nathan Brown Will Power and Colton Herta are tied for 8th with 244 points. Who comes out of Toronto ahead? We've seen it twice this year, and it's largely been the case the last couple years: The Andretti Global street course package is on another level, as we saw last year with Herta and teammate Kyle Kirkwood ran 1-2 for all but four laps of the 85 run on the streets of Toronto (with those four solely coming through pit exchanges). Herta won the last race here and has two poles and three podiums in his last three starts at Toronto. Though there's always a chance that disaster strikes, I'm going to take the odds on Herta. Santino Ferrucci and David Malukas, A.J. Foyt teammates, are tied for 10th with 237 points. Who comes out of Toronto ahead? Although Ferrucci has finished six of the eight road or street course races better than Malukas, the performance I saw across at the Detroit Grand Prix weekend (other than Malukas' tap to the rear of Alex Palou that earned Malukas an essentially day-ending penalty) leads me to think he has an edge. If he can keep his nose clean and this race doesn't deliver too much chaos — like the ways in which Ferrucci flipped the script for his podiums at Detroit and Road America — I like Malukas this weekend. Josef Newgarden and Christian Rasmussen are tied for 14th with 207 points. Who comes out of Toronto ahead? Before a mechanical failure ended his day at Detroit, Rasmussen was on for an incredibly strong showing — and then again, Newgarden had to fight hard just for a 9th-place finish there. Both these drivers — and their cars and teams — have shown volatility lately, in terms of results. So give me the veteran driver and more historically successful team. I don't think it's that ever-elusive 2025 win Newgarden continues to hunt, but a top-10 is reasonable, and I'm marginally less confident Rasmussen can match it.
