'Piss poor': Wood slams race-ending Supercars incident
Walkinshaw Andretti United driver Ryan Wood has blasted James Golding's racing as "piss poor" after an incident ended his outing in Perth. The pair locked horns late in Sunday's 83-lap, 200km sprint at Wanneroo Raceway when PremiAir Nulon Racing's Golding had run wide at turn one. Wood made the most of his opportunity and moved into fifth on the inside, but Golding was unwilling to give up ground. With eight laps to go, Golding made side-on contact with the second-year driver and ended up running both cars off. Wood, who at one point was as high as second after qualifying fifth, was unable to finish the race. Golding finished 22nd after being slapped with a drive-through penalty for the incident. "I was racing someone that shouldn't have been in that position with the way he raced everyone else before that, and he finished me off, so that was pretty awesome," Wood told Fox Sports. "For someone that's pretty experienced, it was pretty piss poor. "I expect better than that, and I know I'm no princess out on the racetrack. "I race hard, but I'm pretty sure I race pretty fair most of the time, so I didn't feel like that was the case then." Golding apologised for the incident, with the pair seen talking in the garages after the race. "I got on the (tyre) marbles, and by that point, once you're on the outside, you can't really disappear," Golding told Fox Sports. "We're both racing hard. Unfortunately, when we bumped, it broke my steering, which pulled me hard right into him and ended his race. "Sorry to those guys, but we're all racing hard out there. "It's racing. S**t happens sometimes." Wood believed Golding should have been punished earlier for an incident with Triple Eight driver Will Brown. Golding was defending his position in fourth when the nose of Brown's car hit his right rear and sent him wide at turn seven. On-track aggression has been dialled up this year as the series undergoes a massive format shake-up. Wood has himself drawn scrutiny from stewards, handed a drive-through penalty in Melbourne after sending Erebus driver Jack Le Brocq into the wall on the opening lap. "There should have been penalties before that with the same driver," Wood said. "It doesn't matter when someone gets a penalty after they finish someone off, it shouldn't get to that point. "I'm sure I got a lot worse for a lot less this year." It is a frustrating end to the weekend for Wood, who had claimed the opening sprint for his first Supercars win. Wood was cruelly denied back-to-back wins on Saturday after suffering a suspension failure. "Just gutted for our whole team because they produced us with a race car to put ourselves in a position to win all three races this weekend," Wood said. "I don't know who's walked under a ladder or something, but yeah, definitely going to get some spells put on us for some good luck." Broc Feeney extended his championship lead by taking out the final sprint, followed by Matt Payne and James Courtney in second and third, respectively.

Red-hot Feeney tops Supercars practice in Tasmania
Broc Feeney has fired a warning shot to Supercars title rivals with the quickest laps in the opening practice sessions in Tasmania. Left smarting after a frustrating weekend in New Zealand, the Triple Eight young gun first set the pace with a lap of 51.311 seconds in Friday's opening session at Launceston's Symmons Plains Raceway. The 22-year-old then shaved off 0.223 seconds in the final session. PremiAir Nulon Racing driver Richie Stanaway was second-fastest by 0.0991 seconds in Friday's later session, followed by Feeney's teammate Will Brown. Feeney will be looking to return to his winning ways after failing to make the podium last round across the Tasman and dropping out of the top three in the series standings. He is fourth behind Grove rival Matt Payne, who shot up the standings after winning two of the three sprints at Taupo International Motorsport Park. Defending champion Brown holds a 34-point lead over second-placed Tickford driver Cam Waters. Waters was 12th then 10th fastest across the two practice sessions, among many drivers on Friday who journeyed into the gravel after locking up on the infamous hairpin at turn four. Drivers will return at 9.05am (AEST) on Saturday for back-to-back qualifying sessions, followed by two 120km races.

Supercars stars keen to add aggression in title hunt
Supercars drivers are set to dial up on-track aggression on the road to a new-look finals series after Cam Waters set the tone at the Sydney 500. Waters put Triple Eight rival Broc Feeney to the sword at Sydney Motorsport Park on Saturday to emerge victorious by a staggeringly narrow 0.0308-second buffer. Pole-sitter Waters pulled off a sensational drive to run down Feeney, having lost the lead when Richie Stanaway's PremiAir Nulon Racing car caught fire early in Saturday's 200km sprint. HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS?!?!?!Cam Waters wins in Sydney!! #RepcoSC #Supercars — Supercars (@supercars) February 22, 2025 On his way back to the top, Waters sent Feeney off the track at turn four as reigning champion Will Brown momentarily surged into the lead. Waters redressed the incident by giving up his spot and was cleared of fault by race stewards, before running into Feeney's rear bar in the final lap. The Tickford driver then copped a bump from Brown before crossing the finish line first for his second-consecutive win of the weekend thanks to a slipstream. Triple Eight driver Brown finished third. "I wasn't sure if I was going to get a penalty or not, but I didn't want to have that hanging over my head, so I just rolled out of it," Waters said. WOW! There's contact for the lead but Race Control has let it play out!Follow all the action from the Thrifty Sydney 500 with our Live Feed here 👉 #Supercars — Supercars (@supercars) February 22, 2025 While agreeing the late-stage drag race made for a thrilling end, Feeney said the inaction from race stewards over Waters's bump has created confusion for drivers. Aggression will be key for the championship hunt after the introduction of an elimination series in a major format revamp for the 2025 season. Series titles will no longer be won based on points accumulation, with the standings to be reset between the three finals rounds. The new NASCAR-inspired format will also progressively cut the 24-strong grid down to four drivers. "We've still got that cloud over us, like with contact does there come a penalty?" Feeney said. "With finals coming in, there's been a lot of talk and over the last couple of years about how they want the rules to go for racing. "We're going nearly more and more NASCAR-style where in general, you can sort of rub up a little bit more. "I'm sure everyone in here agrees that's probably one of the best races there's been in a while in Supercars and it came with a lot of running into each other." Feeney's teammate Brown echoed his sentiments. "It is a bit of a grey area now," Brown said. "The race was so exciting tonight, you don't want to penalise anyone. It would've been very disappointing after the race "But also, if you're doing that from fifth place now, are they going to penalise you? "That's the hardest thing right now - for us going into the rest of the season, can you get away with that every day?" Drivers return to the track on Sunday for the final sprint race of the Sydney 500 at 4.05pm (AEDT).
