Feeney on cusp of joining legends in exclusive group

Broc Feeney has kicked off 2025 as the one-lap king of Supercars, and heads to New Zealand with a shot at joining some of the biggest names in championship history.

The Triple Eight Race Engineering driver has qualified no worse than second across the first two rounds of the season, and has a miserly 1.43 qualifying average.

Feeney started second for all three Sydney races alongside Tickford Racing rival Cam Waters, who claimed all three poles to start the year.

Come Melbourne, and as Waters struggled, Feeney was peerless with four straight poles, taking his career tally to 12 and putting him 23rd all-time.

Not only did the 22-year-old become the 11th driver in the history of the ATCC/Supercars Championship to take four poles in a row, he became the first to take four on one weekend.

Feeney is chasing five straight in New Zealand, a marker only four drivers have achieved.

Drivers will vie for three Boost Mobile Pole Positions, three wins and the Jason Richards Memorial Trophy at the ITM Taupō Super 440 on April 11-13. Tickets are on sale now.

Peter Brock, Allan Moffat, Dick Johnson and Scott McLaughlin all recorded streaks of five or more, with Brock and McLaughlin doing it twice.

Moffat took the final two poles of 1971 at Adelaide International and Oran Park, and kicked off 1972 with poles at Symmons Plains, Calder Park, Bathurst, Sandown, Adelaide, Warwick Farm and Surfers to go nine straight. Ian Geoghegan denied Moffat the '72 sweep at the Oran Park finale.

Brock nailed a whopping 13 in a row across the 1979 and 1980 seasons, taking the final five poles of '79 at Sandown, Perth, Surfers, Lakeside and Adelaide. He then took all eight poles in 1980, which is the only time an a championship season that one driver has taken every pole in a season.

In 1981, Brock pressed on and claimed five in a row at Oran Park, Sandown, Perth, Adelaide and Lakeside. Johnson and Brock shared all 11 wins in '81, with Johnson winning his first championship.

Johnson then hit six straight in 1988 aboard his Ford Sierra at Calder, Symmons, Winton, Perth, Adelaide and Lakeside, winning four times.

McLaughlin nailed a record-breaking 16 poles in 2017, his first season with DJR Team Penske. Seven came in a row across the Darwin, Townsville, Ipswich and Sydney rounds. The Kiwi then went five straight in 2020, all coming at The Bend Motorsport Park.

Feeney has qualified on the front row in his last eight attempts dating back to last season's Adelaide 500, where he claimed pole for the final race.

Of active drivers, only Waters (32 poles), Will Davison (29), Chaz Mostert (25), Anton De Pasquale (16), David Reynolds (16) and Brodie Kostecki (13) have more poles than 22-year-old Feeney.
