Broc Feeney became the latest Supercars race winner at the 2022 season-ending VALO Adelaide 500.

Feeney sent off Holden on top when he won Race 34 of the 2022 Repco Supercars Championship.

He became the 83rd driver to win a race, and the first first-time winner since Will Brown in November 2021.

When the 2023 Repco Supercars Championship gets underway, 15 of the 25 drivers on the grid will have won a race.

Of the 10 drivers who have yet to race to victory lane, four — Todd Hazelwood, Macauley Jones, Jack Smith and Bryce Fullwood — have made more than 100 starts.

The 15 winners combine for 205 wins — and Shane van Gisbergen has won 75 of them.

It poses the question — given there is so much change for 2023, who could become the latest winner?

Hazelwood has made 159 starts, and moves into a CoolDrive Mustang.

Tim Slade pushed the Blanchard Ford into the top 10, giving Hazelwood hope he can fight towards the front.

Brodie Kostecki finished a career-best seventh in 2022, and scored podiums and poles this year.

Should Erebus be on the money with Gen3, Kostecki could be a force to be reckoned with.

Cousin Jake and Thomas Randle had underwhelming first seasons with Tickford Racing.

Then, there are the two full-time rookies — Matt Payne and Cameron Hill.

Both drivers have won in everything they’ve raced, and both hit the podium as Super2 rookies in 2022.

James Golding will also tackle a first full season with PremiAir Racing in 2023, having reached multiple Shootouts towards the end of the year.
