Feeney claims final 2024 pole, Waters makes costly error

Broc Feeney has followed up a dominant Saturday performance at the VAILO Adelaide 500 to claim the Boost Mobile Pole Award for Race 24 of the Repco Supercars Championship.

The 2022 Adelaide 500 winner was the only driver to dip into the teens in the final Boost Mobile Top Ten Shootout of the season, beating Chaz Mostert by one and a half tenths of a second in a strong performance.

For Mostert and Walkinshaw Andretti United it was a strong recovery after being caught out by the Turn 8 carnage in Friday qualifying, and a race plagued by clutch dramas for the #25 Mustang yesterday.

Mostert was joined in the Shootout by rookie teammate Ryan Wood, who will line up from seventh having had a slight brush with the wall at the exit of Turn 11.

Thomas Randle and Will Brown will line up on the second row of the grid after impressive performances, with the Tickford man only half a tenth away from a second front row start of the weekend.

The champion elect threw caution to the wind in his one lap dash, going millimetres away from picking up a kerb strike at Turn 2 on his way to a 1:20.2435s and also picking up a purple sector in Sector 2.

Brodie Kostecki and Anton De Pasquale will start from row three this afternoon in their final starts for Erebus Motorsport and Dick Johnson Racing respectively, both making up places from their provisional qualifying efforts.

Wood will have Will Davison for company on row four, with the top 10 completed by Nick Percat, who had to lift through Turn 8 to avoid hitting the wall that claimed Matt Stone Racing teammate Cameron Hill on Friday, and Cam Waters.

Yesterday's pole sitter Waters torched an outside front tyre on the run down Wakefield Street to Turn 4, with the 2024 Boost Mobile Pole Champion set to start out of 10th after the uncharacteristic error.

Race 24 of the 2024 Repco Supercars Championship begins at 3:15pm local time/3:45pm AEDT at the VAILO Adelaide 500.
