Supercars Finals winners and losers: Heimgartner, Feeney make huge moves

The halfway point of the Repco Sprint Cup was a real moving weekend in the story of the 2026 Repco Supercars Championship.

Three different winners in as many races, and mass changes in the pecking order day on day saw plenty of minor changes for position throughout the field, however wild points swings were the focal point of the weekend.

At the head of the field, there were dramatic twists in the make-up of the title battle, while a big name was able to break his way back inside the bubble.

Supercars.com picks out the Finals winners and losers from the Tyrepower Tasmania Super 440.

Winner: Broc Feeney

Tasmania could be the biggest step towards back-to-back Repco Sprint Cup wins for Broc Feeney. Sunday in particular was Feeney back to his 2025 best, a storming lap to claim pole in the Shootout, followed by a race where no one looked like beating him. His points lead has now ballooned out to 90 points heading to Darwin, where he claimed the Triple Crown last year with a clean sweep. The field is on notice.

Loser: Brodie Kostecki

On the flip side, Brodie Kostecki's season has now gone on tilt in the space of four races. A podium in the opener was followed by a last-place finish, with lingering damage then massively hindering car performance in the big points finale. 23 points off the lead going into the round, Kostecki is now 173 points off the pace. While making the Finals won't be an issue, the 25 bonus points that go with the Sprint Cup win might be out of reach.

Winner: Andre Heimgartner

The feel-good story of the weekend was Andre Heimgartner, who stunned to claim a drought-breaking win for himself and Brad Jones Racing on Saturday. That followed a strong top five run in the opener, though Sunday saw all the Toyotas sink back through the pack. Regardless, it was a weekend of gains for the Kiwi, who saw his gap to the Finals bubble shrink from 162 points to 123.

Loser: Jack Le Brocq

After such a strong start to the year, not much went the way of Jack Le Brocq and Matt Stone Racing in Tasmania. The #4 Sherrin Rentals Camaro was plagued by an engine issue all weekend, right from the second of the quick-fire practice sessions on Friday. His Finals position was only further compounded by Chaz Mostert's win in the opener. Last time Le Brocq and MSR were in Darwin together, they were race winners.

Winner: Chaz Mostert

The #1 was back on the top step in Tasmania, a perfect response following Chaz Mostert's infamous collision with Kostecki in Christchurch. However, qualifying 18th for the big points race on Sunday could've easily undone all the hard work, however the reigning champion was in vintage form to carve his way through the field to finish ninth. Not only is he now back in the Finals bubble, but also has a handy 68-point cushion to Le Brocq in 11th.

Loser: James Golding

After a starring role to start 2026, James Golding just never had the speed in Tasmania. Qualifying results of 20th, 18th, and 20th were far from what we've come to expect from the #7 Ford this year. Recovery drives to 13th, 12th, and 13th helped him slightly expand his safety buffer to 96 points, however it was the first weekend where Golding didn't really feature in any capacity.
