Feeney wins Gold Coast finale amid Finals elimination controversy
Broc Feeney secured a dominant victory at the Gold Coast finale of the Supercars championship. The race was marked by team strategy controversies that impacted the Finals Series standings for several drivers.
Why it matters
This event highlights the high-stakes nature of professional motorsport and the influence of team orders on individual championship outcomes.
Triple Eight’s Broc Feeney took a dominant victory, beating Dick Johnson Racing’s Brodie Kostecki by nearly seven seconds.
Chaz Mostert was third after being denied a chance to fight for the win by his Walkinshaw TWG Racing.
He had been charging towards the top two when his team asked him to drop back and help Ryan Wood ’s title quest in the closing stanza.
Wood’s hopes were ultimately dashed by a series of late pit stops from two Chevrolet rivals, who vaulted Team 18 driver Anton De Pasquale to seventh in the Finals Series standings.
De Pasquale was the best-finishing Camaro driver, finishing 14th after a Lap 1 clash with Grove Racing driver Kai Allen that left him with a right rear puncture.
Erebus Motorsport driver Jarrod Hughes and Cooper Murray of PremiAir Racing both pitted inside the final 10 laps, finishing 16th and 17th respectively.
