Broc’s historic winning Supercars return to Ipswich track

QUEENSLAND racer Broc Feeney stormed to victory in a dramatic Ipswich Super 440 finale, securing the 2025 Repco Sprint Cup and cementing his spot in the finals.

Feeney also took a commanding lead in the Supercars Championship heading into the business end of the season.

The Red Bull Ampol Racing star took his 12th win from 24 starts this season in Sunday’s Race 25, overcoming wild weather, multiple Safety Cars, and a late charge from Cam Waters.

Sunday was an historic day for Supercars in Ipswich, where the first-ever winner of the new Sprint Cup was crowned.

The Sprint Cup win sealed Feeney's spot in the finals series, which begins on the Gold Coast in October.

To celebrate, 22-year-old Feeney brought his mum and 89-year-old Nan onto the Ipswich podium with him.

Feeney, who grew up racing at Queensland Raceway, thrilled the crowd with the win.

“I really wanted to win this one, especially here at home,” Feeney said.

“I’ve got a lot of friends and family here — my Nan’s even in the crowd — so it’s bloody awesome.”

Feeney finished the Sprint Cup 337 points clear of teammate and defending Supercars Champion Will Brown.

Ford's best, Cam Waters, produced one of the drives of the season, charging from 19th to second.

 Rookie Kai Allen surged from 22nd to third after an inspired strategy call during the race’s pivotal Safety Car period.

"They threw everything at us today: the weather, the Safety Car, you name it,” Feeney (pictured) said.

“To come out of that in fourth and go straight back to the lead was incredible.”

The result means Brown and Grove Racing’s Matt Payne clinch provisional Finals berths, with both holding more than a 600-point buffer over ninth in the standings.

During Saturday’s big program at the Willowbank circuit, Dunlop Super2 Series drivers Jarrod Hughes and Mason Kelly were involved in a crash (pictured above).

Hughes, who will be a co-driver in the upcoming Endurance events with Erebus, was taken to Ipswich Hospital for X-Rays on his upper left arm.

Kelly was unharmed and walked away from the incident.

The next Supercars’ stop is the Airtouch 500 at The Bend in South Australia this week.

Superstar racers, including Hall of Fame inductees Craig Lowndes and Jamie Whincup, will join the grid in co-driver roles battling it out in a 500km slog around the Tailem Bend circuit.

It’s the first time Supercars has raced an enduro event at the venue.

After winning two out of three races in Ipswich, Feeney will join the great Jamie Whincup as a co-driver in South Australia.
