'The move was on': Walkinshaw sheds light on 2025 controversy 

Ryan Walkinshaw has shed light on his side of the final day tension in Adelaide last November that saw Broc Feeney and Ryan Wood collide.

While the 2025 season is in the rearview mirror, the drama of the final day has continued into 2026, with Feeney and Wood hit by questions at almost every turn.

From Feeney turning his back to vision of Adelaide to Wood admitting they haven’t spoken, the rivalry is set to bubble along throughout 2026.

It stems from their first lap, last race clash in Adelaide, which led to dramatic scenes since revealed in the new Supercars: Road to Glory documentary, available to watch now on Prime Video.

Walkinshaw was at the centre of the controversy, celebrating in the garage as Wood and Feeney collided.

While Feeney has stood up to questions of the finale, he made a recent point to the celebrations, saying it was “pretty low” and that there was "a little bit of maliciousness.”

Speaking on the Lucky Dogs podcast, co-hosted by Feeney’s teammate Will Brown and Brodie Kostecki, Walkinshaw shut down conspiracies, insisting the plan for Wood was to overtake Feeney and give eventual champion Chaz Mostert a fighting chance.

Walkinshaw also claimed that he thought Wood’s 15 second penalty was “bloody unfair," and that Feeney turned down on Wood.

“We had to get four spots on Broc. We knew that if Broc got in front of Payne and was in clean air, he was going to run away with it,” Walkinshaw said.

“Because if you’re going to go and try and take out a car, you want to take it out so the car is wounded. You’re not doing it just to give him a bit of a soft spin.

“Second point, the move was on. There was loads of space there, he left a gap, he was easily halfway up the side of him, and Broc turned in on him.

“We thought that Broc was going to be smarter in that situation and let Woody get past.”

Walkinshaw maintained that his reaction in the garage was an “emotional response,” adding: “The other part of the conspiracy was that my reaction was some sort of demonstration of some sort of plan being actioned perfectly, and some sort of evil genius managing to get his way.

“I reacted by cheering my arse off when that happened, because, very, very simply, we just witnessed what looked like the main guy we were competing in the championship, screwing up by squeezing unnecessarily into our driver and spinning himself over the front of our car, and both of our cars going through that incident and surviving.

“So of course I’m going to bloody cheer. It looked like Broc [screwed] up and both of our cars managed to go through clean, and now we’re leading the championship. Why would I not cheer for that? Hundreds of thousands of our fans at home cheered for the same reason.

“Guys cheer in the pits all the time — it’s completely normal… I’d do it again a hundred times over.”

Track action resumes in Melbourne from Thursday.
