Broc Feeney has been crowned Sprint Cup champion after an impressive victory in the third race of the weekend at Queensland Raceway. The Triple Eight driver started from the second position, right next to Will Brown, and dominated the competition throughout the race.
In the early moments of the race, Feeney and Brown fought neck and neck, but soon the Triple Eight driver managed to pull away. By the time of the first pit stop, Feeney had stretched his lead to an impressive three seconds.
Although Feeney seemed to be on his way to a certain victory, the Sprint Cup title appeared to be secured for Matt Payne, who was in fifth place. However, fate played its part when Payne’s engine failed midway through the race, leaving him out of contention.
Ultimately, Feeney crossed the finish line with a 1.45-second advantage over the second-place driver, Brodie Kostecki. Kostecki had a competitive race but was affected by traffic and steering issues in the final laps.
Will Brown completed the podium, finishing in third place while trying to keep up with the strategies of the other drivers. With this victory, Feeney regains the lead in the championship standings, holding a 30-point advantage over Payne, with Kostecki in third place.
The next race of the Supercars Championship will be a endurance race, taking place at The Bend, Australia from September 11 to 13.
