Brown hits back amid Mostert jibe on Triple Eight tension

Reigning Repco Supercars Champion Will Brown has responded to championship rival Chaz Mostert's claims that Red Bull Ampol Racing will have to favour one of their two title combatants at the bp Adelaide Grand Final.

Triple Eight are the only team with both of their drivers still in championship contention heading into the final round, with Broc Feeney leading after a dominant season, and Brown 35 points behind in third.

As the only team in such a situation, Mostert, who enters the weekend second in the standings 20 points behind Feeney, heaped the pressure on Triple Eight post-Sandown, suggesting that the team have to prioritise either one of their drivers over the other.

"Triple Eight's the one that's gonna have to really work out what they're gonna do," said Mostert last week.

""Are they gonna back their current champion, or are they gonna back their guy that's been in form this year?"

However, Red Bull Ampol Racing have been unwavering in their preference to have both Feeney and Brown contesting the Grand Final weekend throughout the year, and have only doubled down now that it's a reality.

Brown only added to that after his impressive weekend of comebacks at Sandown, stating that he will do everything he can to stamp his authority and claim back-to-back championship wins.

"The best thing for us is we give ourselves a higher chance for our team to win by having two Red Bull cars in there,” Brown said after Sandown.

“It was our main objective at the start of the year, and to have that now is awesome. But, we'll both just try to do the best job we can. Whoever comes out on top, comes out on top.”

“We both put our best foot forward and try as hard as we can each weekend and what happens at Adelaide will happen.”

As if the incentive of a four-way title fight wasn't enough for the likes of Feeney, Mostert, Brown, and Kai Allen to deal with, this year's Adelaide event expands to a three-race format, with a 100km Friday sprint race joining the traditional twin 250km races.

The 100km sprint offers a $50,000 prize to the winner, however for Feeney, the cash reward couldn't be further from his mind as he fights for his first championship win.

"To be honest, I don't actually care about the 50 grand. Sounds pretty crazy to say, but I just want the points,” Feeney said.

"It's gonna be a very interesting weekend. It's exciting. It's great that they're putting up the cash prize and all that. It's probably very incentivising for all the other drivers that aren't in the championship.

“But my goal on the trophy at the end of the weekend, to be honest."

On-track action in Adelaide begins on Thursday.
