ADELAIDE, Australia — Will Brown secured the Repco Supercars Championship on Saturday and won the season-ending Adelaide 500 on Sunday.
Brown inherited the lead and the victory after Broc Feeney spun longtime leader Chaz Mostert from contention.
Brown crossed the line a distant second behind teammate Feeney, who copped dual 15-second penalties, with Mostert nursing his damaged car home to finish second ahead of Thomas Randle.
It was a stunning comeback by Brown, who was sent into a spin at Turn 7 by Brodie Kostecki on lap 9, dropping the Triple Eight Engineering driver to 23rd.
However, it was Feeney’s clash with Mostert that made the biggest waves, with Feeney hitting Mostert into the Turn 6 barriers despite copping a penalty over an unsafe release. Feeney was demoted to seventh, with Randle, Will Davison, Nick Percat and Kostecki filling positions three through six.
“I feel like a bit more of a champion after that drive, that was awesome,” Brown said. “I can’t believe we got turned around, I probably turned in on Brodie there, and I thought that was our day done, so we’ll go out and have some fun. I never thought we were going to win there.
“To win that, bad luck to Broc, I don’t know what happened there, but it’s an awesome way to end the year, that was a stellar race.”
