ALL TO PLAY FOR IN SUPERCARS DECIDER AS FEENEY EDGES FURTHER AHEAD

Triple Eight Race Engineering’s Broc Feeney will carry a 23-point championship lead into the final Supercars race of the season at the bp Adelaide Grand Final, following a tense 250-kilometre Saturday race.

 

Feeney led home fellow grand finalist Chaz Mostert in the second Supercars race of the bp Adelaide Grand Final. With the other contenders Will Brown and Kai Allen in fourth and fifth respectively, 88 points separate the four finalists with 125 points on offer to the winner of Sunday’s race.

 

While Feeney holds a 23-point lead over Mostert, Brown and Allen are 76 and 88 points behind the leader respectively.

 

Feeney overcame an early-race battle with Aaron Cameron and a late-race charge from Ryan Wood to claim what could be a decisive win in the championship race. Wood relinquished his second place on the final lap to his teammate Mostert, helping the latter maximise his points haul.

 

All four grand finalists faced nervy moments in the penultimate race of the season – Feeney with engine issues, Mostert with loose bodywork following contact and Brown and Allen tangling late in the race. Yet they all finished inside the top five, to keep the title race close heading into Sunday’s showdown.

 

Matthew Payne, Thomas Randle, Cameron Waters, James Courtney and Brodie Kostecki completed the top 10.

 

The decisive final Repco Supercars Championship race gets underway at 3:15pm local time on Sunday.
