Overview

  • Feeney wrapped up the inaugural Repco Sprint Cup by converting pole into victory in Saturday’s opening race.
  • In Sunday’s finale he led from the start, weathered a midrace shuffle of pit strategies and recaptured the lead on lap 43 to win by more than eight seconds.
  • Rain on lap three and a safety car for Cameron Crick prompted split pit-stop strategies that briefly dropped Feeney to fourth.
  • Cam Waters surged from 19th to second in his 300th Supercars start, while Kai Allen completed the podium in third.
  • A five-second penalty for a false start in Saturday’s second race was his only blemish as he stretched his title lead to 337 points before The Bend 500.
