A Wrap-up of The Bend 500
Feeney pole streak continues, but Bend 500 slips away
Broc Feeney extended his reputation as the qualifying king at The Bend, securing his fifth pole in a row and eighth from the last 10 races, a run that equals the all-time Supercars record. But despite the speed, a pit lane drama ruined what should have been another winning day for the #88 Camaro.
The inaugural AirTouch 500 at The Bend delivered on multiple storylines, with a record crowd of 47,034 watching Brodie Kostecki and Todd Hazelwood take a breakthrough win for Ford. It was the first enduro victory for the blue side since Bathurst 2019, capped by an all-Mustang podium that reignited the parity debate.
Race – AirTouch 500, The Bend
Feeney had stamped his authority in the Shootout with a blistering 1:48.654, making him the man to beat yet again. Jamie Whincup started the #88 before handing over with the car still well in the fight, only for a refuelling rig issue to cause a 50-second stop. With no Safety Car intervention, the pair slumped to 19th, their first finish outside the top 10 in months.
“Unfortunately, we never really got to the second stint,” Feeney said. “The fuel wouldn’t go in and that was our race gone. We still had a really fast car but it was basically a test session after that.”
While Feeney’s streak of poles remains the yardstick in 2025, the #88 could only bank frustration on race day.
By contrast, the sister #1 Camaro salvaged Triple Eight pride. Will Brown and Scott Pye missed the set-up window in qualifying and could do no better than 16th on the grid, but on Sunday they came alive. A fast race car and aggressive stints dragged them all the way to fourth at the flag, proving the pace was there when it counted.
The glory, however, went to Dick Johnson Racing. Hazelwood lit up his home crowd with a storming opening stint before Kostecki fended off a fast-finishing Cameron Waters to secure the win by 3s. Matt Payne and Garth Tander completed the all-Ford podium.
Podium: 1. Kostecki/Hazelwood (Ford), 2. Waters/Stanaway (Ford), 3. Payne/Tander (Ford).
Championship Standings (Top 10):
1. Broc Feeney – 2063 pts (12 wins, 13 poles)
2. Matthew Payne – 1718 pts (3 wins, 1 pole)
3. Will Brown – 1708 pts (2 wins, 1 pole)
4. Cam Waters – 1548 pts (3 wins, 3 poles)
5. Chaz Mostert – 1411 pts (1 win, 1 pole)
6. Brodie Kostecki – 1476 pts (2 wins, 4 poles)
7. Anton De Pasquale – 1166 pts
8. Andre Heimgartner – 1083 pts
9. Ryan Wood – 1076 pts (1 win, 1 pole)
10. Thomas Randle – 1062 pts (1 pole)
Feeney’s pole streak is the talk of the paddock, but The Bend showed that even record pace can be undone in pit lane. With Bathurst looming, Triple Eight has speed to burn but work to do, while Ford heads to Mount Panorama with fresh momentum.
