Broc Feeney repaid Triple Eight Race Engineering’s faith by joining the ranks of Supercars Championship race winners in his rookie season with a victory at the 2022 season-ending VALO Adelaide 500.
The 20-year-old began his first season in the premier class with big shoes to fill, driving the #88 Holden vacated by seven-time Supercars Champion and four-time Bathurst 1000 winner Jamie Whincup, who had retired from full-time driving to take up the role of Triple Eight’s managing director.
Feeney posted his first front row start and maiden podium finishes in the second round at Symmons Plains and scored 25 top 10 finishes that helped Triple Eight secure its 11th Teams Championship title.
Feeney, a protege of 2014 Bathurst 1000 winner Paul Morris, has built an impressive CV despite his tender years.
Following in the footsteps of father Paul Feeney, who raced on two wheels in the 1970s and '80s, Broc began racing motorbikes at the age of three. He moved across to karts at age nine and then cars at 15, becoming the youngest race winner in Toyota 86 Racing Series history then making the leap to Super3. Feeney became the category's youngest series champion, taking a first-up pole position and race win in the opening round ahead of a consistent run to the title.
He graduated to the Dunlop Super2 Series with Tickford Racing in 2020 and finished seventh overall in the COVID-impacted season, qualifying on the front row of the grid for both races at Sydney Motorsport Park in July but crashing out of the Bathurst finale.
A switch to Triple Eight for 2021 paid dividends with Feeney claiming the Super2 title off the back of four wins and four second placings across the 10-race season, along with three pole positions that earned him the Super2 Pole Champion Award.
Prior to his full-time graduation last year, Feeney made his 'main game' debut at the 2020 Bathurst 1000, sharing Tickford Racing’s Mustang with James Courtney to a top 10 finish on the day of his 18th birthday.
He took on lead driver duties one year later aboard a Triple Eight-run wildcard entry with two-time Bathurst 1000 winner and 2005 Supercars Champion Russell Ingall, and dovetailed the role with his ultimately successful pursuit of the Super2 title on the same weekend.
Fast-forward to 2025, and BFeen has circled back on that impressive Adelaide 500 win. Although 2nd behind Will in the 2024 Drivers Standings, Broc claimed the most race wins of the field, which included a clean sweep of both Darwin races, showing he will be a serious force in 2025 where wins are more valuable than ever.
