Supercars News: Feeney wins both Saturday races in Darwin

Gold Coaster Broc Feeney is on a roll in the Repco Supercars Championship – claiming his fourth consecutive race victory – and second in a day, with this afternoon’s win in sweltering conditions at the betr Darwin Triple Crown.

Broc Feeney started from pole on Saturday at Darwin

Feeney now holds a 148-point lead over his Red Bull Ampol Racing teammate Will Brown after 18 races, with one more race in Darwin tomorrow – a 200km slog in the heat in the top end.

Second in this afternoon’s second race was Chevrolet’s Anton De Pasquale, his first podium for Team 18 since switching from Ford for 2025.

Third was Mount Gambier’s teenage rookie, Kai Allen. The Penrite Ford Mustang 19-year-old driver recording his first-ever career podium in just his 22nd career race at the top level.

Feeney’s wins today doubled the lead he brought into this weekend and holds him in a commanding position heading into tomorrow’s final race of the event.

The race was filled with nudges and drama, with a late race crash between Will Davison and David Reynolds bringing out the bp Safety CAr – that all the drivers followed over the finish line.

Through 17 completed races in 2025, 15 of 24 drivers have now claimed at least one podium finish.

Feeney and De Pasquale dragged down to Turn 1 after the lights went out, with Allen rounding up Cam Waters. On the following lap, Matt Payne sent Richie Stanaway into a spin, and down to last. No penalty was deemed necessary, with Stanaway appearing to move under brakes.

De Pasquale kept Feeney honest in the opening laps, as Allen kept Waters at bay. As the laps ticked over, though, Feeney opened up a margin, and set the fastest lap on lap 9 as Payne and Nick Percat were taken out of traffic.

Brodie Kostecki was taken out of sixth on lap 15 as the stops continued, with Feeney opening up a 3.6s lead by lap 20. Bryce Fullwood (lap 24) and Brown (lap 25) stopped from the top 10 as the leaders marched on.

Waters, Andre Heimgartner and Jack Le Brocq stopped on lap 26, with Heimgartner jumping Waters in the lane. Penrite Racing reacted and pulled Allen in, with a wheel rolling into the fast lane. Stewards advised the stop would be investigated after the race.

De Pasquale was brought in on lap 27, and rejoined behind the early stoppers Kostecki and Payne. On the following lap, Triple Eight decided enough was enough, and pulled off a rapid stop.

With the field cleansed, Feeney led Kostecki by one second, with Payne, De Pasquale, Allen, Fullwood, Percat, Waters and Ryan Wood rounding out the top 10.

On fresh rubber, Feeney nailed the fastest lap of the race on lap 30, before De Pasquale picked off Payne at Turn 1. On the following lap, De Pasquale picked off Kostecki and regained second position, as Feeney went faster again.

Allen rounded up Kostecki to return to third, as Wood threw away eighth with an off at Turn 1. Waters did the same as he attempted to hold off Brown, and finished 10th.

With three laps to go, attention turned to the hairpin, where a concertina sent Reynolds into a spin. Stewards hit Randle with a 15-second penalty over the clash, dropping the #55 Castrol Ford to 22nd.

With Reynolds stranded, the Safety Car was deployed with two laps remaining, neutralizing the race and sealing career win No. 19 for Feeney.

Heimgartner, Kostecki, Fullwood, Brown, Payne, Wood and Waters rounded out the top 10. Mostert crawled from 23rd to 17th, while Reynolds and Stanaway weren’t classified.
