Three leaders, four changes, six races: The wild swings in points lead fight

Broc Feeney is suddenly in the box seat for the Repco Sprint Cup, with the Triple Eight star holding the lead at the halfway mark of the first part of the season.

In a wild turn of events, Feeney became the third different championship leader in eight starts, with the lead changing four times in the last six races.

Cam Waters led the way for the first five races, before reigning championship Will Brown took it away in Melbourne. Waters and Brown traded the lead in New Zealand, before Feeney took over in Tasmania.

Matt Payne has been the biggest mover, and sits 42 points behind Brown, who is only 33 points behind Feeney.

Feeney was 91 points down in New Zealand, but was the leader within four races. while Brown was 60 behind Waters leaving Sydney. Payne was 149 down after Melbourne, while Waters is now 91 down, having led just five races ago.

Supercars.com highlights the key moments that led to the lead changing hands.

Race 6

On a mad weekend at Albert Park, the points lead changed hands for the first time all year in what turned out to be the final race of the weekend. After decimating the field in Sydney, Tickford and Cam Waters struggled all weekend, allowing Will Brown to crush that gap, and duly take the championship lead after victory on Saturday. Although the Tickford driver put in another sterling recovery drive to go from 19th to eighth, it wasn't enough, as a 31-point swing towards the reigning champion saw Brown leave Albert Park with a seven point lead.

Race 8

However, Brown's slim championship lead was lost in the very next race at Taupō, as the tables were turned, and Red Bull Ampol Racing had an uncharacteristically poor weekend. Brown would salvage fifth from a lowly start of 13th, but a runner-up finish for Waters put the Monster Mustang back on top, with the points swing going 17 points back in Waters' favour. The margin once again was incredibly tight, this time only 10 points covered cars #6 and #1.

Race 9

This time Water's ascendancy was incredibly short lived, and by sunset on Saturday in Taupō, he had been demoted back to second place in the standings. In the only race of the weekend on the Super Soft tyre, the Triple Eight Camaros rediscovered pace that comfortably had them in the top 10, whilst Waters struggled for tyre life, slipping from sixth on the grid to a disappointing 14th. Brown's knack for maximising his bad days proved invaluable, and saw him move back to the lead with a 12 point margin over Waters.

Race 12

Strong weekends for Matt Payne, Chaz Mostert, and Brodie Kostecki all saw them emerge in the fight for the Sprint Cup after Taupō, however the points picture now projects a four-way fight. Payne's stunning drive to fend off a flying Broc Feeney kept him well within touching distance of the lead, however it was Feeney who was the star of Tasmania. Two wins and a second saw the 22-year-old leap to first in the standings after entering the weekend in third with a 61-point deficit to Will Brown flipping into a 33-point lead.
