Broc Feeney has stormed to his 10th pole position of the 2025 Repco Supercars Championship season after an impressive lap in the Top 10 Shootout for Race 22 in Townsville, edging out Matt Payne in a tense finale that delivered plenty of drama and strategy variation.

Cam Waters was the first to roll out for the one-lap dash and set the early benchmark with a tidy 1:13.348, establishing a solid reference for the rest of the field.

Anton De Pasquale was quick to respond, heading out on four fresh tyres and delivering a sharp 1:13.270 to jump to the top, comfortably displacing Waters and laying down the gauntlet for the rest of the contenders.

Next out was young gun Kai Allen, also on four new tyres, but his 1:13.720 lap couldn’t match the front-runners, slotting him temporarily into third.

Chaz Mostert followed with a typically committed effort, going green in both of the first two sectors and posting a 1:13.6279, just enough to sneak ahead of Allen and into the provisional top three.

Ryan Wood had to head out on a set of used tyres and did well to stay in touch with the leaders. The Kiwi went green in sectors one and two and punched in a 1:13.891 to sit fifth after his run, an impressive effort given the tyre disadvantage.

Will Brown looked set to challenge for the top spot. Despite battling understeer at Turn 2 and sitting three-tenths down after sector one, he unleashed a stunning purple second sector to recover. His 1:13.613 lap lifted him into third position, showcasing his resilience and adaptability.

Then came Broc Feeney. On four fresh tyres and brimming with confidence, Feeney lit up the timing screens with purple sectors across the board.

He was already up by a tenth and a half after sector one and continued to stretch his advantage, eventually stopping the clock at a sensational 1:12.953, over three tenths clear of De Pasquale. It was a statement lap, and one that proved unbeatable.

Thomas Randle gave it a solid shot next, going green through the first two sectors but unable to match the outright pace. He slotted into fourth with a 1:13.362, just narrowly behind Waters.

Will Davison, one of only two drivers on used tyres for the shootout, managed green sectors throughout and posted a respectable 1:13.444. That time put him fifth at the time of his run and showed good pace despite the strategic call.

The pressure was now on Matt Payne, who had earlier claimed provisional pole. Running a mixed tyre set, three new, one used, the Grove Racing driver delivered a composed lap.

He was only a tenth and a half down through the opening sector and maintained his form in the second, trailing Feeney by three and a half tenths at the final split.

He brought it home to grab second place with a 1:13.300, securing a valuable front row start. Payne heads into this final race of the weekend second in the championship, 201 points away from Feeney.

Feeney’s pole lap, the only time to dip below the 1:13 mark, was a class above and highlighted why he is the current championship leader, with nine wins from ten poles this year so far.

“I was pretty stoked with it to be honest, I’ve just been struggling a lot in the first sector, and to go purple in Sector 1 is awesome,” said Feeney, who claimed his first Supercars pole at Reid Park.

“I knew once I got through the first couple of corners that hopefully it would be alright, and I can’t thank this team enough.

“The turnaround from Friday has been awesome, and to think that we’ve got 10 poles already this year is insane.

“Last three Shootouts have been awesome, quite big margins as well so I’m loving these Shootouts at the moment.”
