Supercars Townsville: 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.

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.

“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.

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.
