Broc Feeney (born 18 October 2002) is an Australian racing driver competing in the Supercars Championship for Triple Eight Race Engineering.
Born and raised in the Gold Coast, Feeney won the Super3 Series as a rookie in 2019 with Paul Morris Motorsport before being promoted to Super2 in 2020 with Tickford Racing. He moved to Triple Eight Race Engineering in 2021, driving the iconic number 888 VF Commodore and won the title—the youngest driver to win either championships. He later inherited Jamie Whincup's No. 88 Holden ZB Commodore (now Chevrolet Camaro ZL1) following Whincup's retirement from full-time driving after the 2021 season. After his move to full-time Supercars competition, Feeney has won 24 races and became the inaugural Sprint Cup champion in 2025.
Feeney has also competed in other series, winning the 2025 GT World Challenge Australia's Pro-Am category alongside Brad Schumacher and taking pole-position at third race of the 2025 New Zealand Grand Prix.
Early and personal life
[edit]Feeney was born on 18 October 2002 in the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.[1][2] His father Paul used to ride motorcycles before importing and distributing them after his retirement, with Feeney crediting his father with his love for motorsports.[3] He rode motorbikes on dirt tracks from age three before switching over to karting when he was nine.[3][4] He was mentored by former Supercars driver and Bathurst 1000 winner Paul Morris starting 2018.[5]
Feeney attended All Saints Anglican School throughout his upbringing.[6][7] He has one older brother and is close friends with former Formula One driver, Jack Doohan.[3]
Junior racing career

Toyota 86 Racing Series (2018)
[edit]In 2018, Feeney moved up and competed in the Toyota 86 Racing Series.[9] In his debut year, he became the youngest race winner in the series history, aged fifteen,[5] and scored two race wins and three podium finishes over the season. [citation needed]
Super3 Series (2019)
[edit]Following his Toyota 86 campaign, Feeney was announced to be competing in the Super3 Series with Paul Morris Motorsport for the 2019 season.[10] His first round saw a win from pole position to become the youngest winner in the championship's history.[5] Though only winning one race, Feeney defeated championship rival Jayden Ojeda by 24 points and totalled 12 podiums over 15 races to become the youngest ever Super3 champion.[11]
Super2 Series (2020–2021)
[edit]After his Super3 victory, Tickford Racing announced in December 2019 that Feeney would be driving for them in the 2020 Super2 Series.[12] After a disappointing season—with no race wins or podiums—he moved move from Tickford Racing to Triple Eight Race Engineering, using the iconic No. 888 car for 2021.[13] That season he won five races, with eight podiums five pole positions and an 177 point gap over second-place, Zak Best.[14] He became the youngest driver to win the Super2 Series, at just 19 years old.[15] With his championship win, he won the Motorsport Australia Young Driver of the Year award.[16]
Supercars Championship career
[edit]Following his Super3 campaign, Feeney was given the opportunity to make his practice debut in 2019. He initially drove for Erebus Motorsport in place of Anton De Pasquale at the Winton SuperSprint, going sixth-fastest before doing a test of Dick Johnson Racing's 2020 car at the Queensland Raceway during September 2019.[17][18]
Tickford Racing (2020)
[edit]Feeney competed in his first Supercars race at the 2020 Bathurst 1000.[19] Turning eighteen on the day of the race, he became one of the youngest drivers to start a Supercars race in the championship's history and partnering James Courtney, the duo came 10th.[20][21] This also made him the fourth youngest Bathurst 1000 finisher.[22]
Triple Eight Race Engineering (2021–present)
[edit]After his move to Triple Eight Race Engineering's Super2 program at the beginning of 2021, it was announced midway through the year that Jamie Whincup would retire, with Feeney becoming his successor.[23] He was then given a wildcard entry into the 2021 Bathurst 1000, driving alongside Russell Ingall.[24] After qualifying fifteenth, and running ninth, Feeney crashed into a wall on a safety car restart, ending the pair's race on lap 143.[25]
2022: Full-time debut, last Holden race winner
[edit]Feeney inherited Whincup's No. 88 car for 2022.[26][27] In his first full season, Feeney secured points in 23 out of the 24 races with a singular retirement in Race 2 of the 2022 Gold Coast 500.[28] His first podium in the Supercars Championship came in the second race of the 2022 Tasmania SuperSprint finishing in 2nd position behind teammate Shane van Gisbergen.[29] He then secured a third place in the third race of the 2022 Sandown SuperSprint.[citation needed] In Supercars's return to Adelaide for the final race of the season, Feeney held off Chaz Mostert to take the win in Race 2 of the 2022 Adelaide 500.[30] This made him the last driver to win a Supercars Championship race in a Holden following their departure from the sport in 2022.[31]
2023: Sandown 500 win
[edit]Feeney improved drastically following the introduction of the Gen3 machinery in 2023. Though poor results in the middle of the season took him out of championship contention, he won five races throughout the season.[32] This included two pole to win conversions, at the fourth race at the Melbourne SuperSprint and the third race at the Perth SuperSprint,[33][34] and a win at Sandown, partnered with Whincup.[35] After running as high as first during the opening laps of the Bathurst 1000, the pair fell out of contention following gearshift issues.[36] He ended the season in 3rd place, behind championship winner Brodie Kostecki and teammate van Gisbergen.[37]
2024: Championship fight vs. Brown
[edit]After Will Brown moved to Triple Eight to replace van Gisbergen in 2024, with the pair quickly becoming title favourites. Though Feeney won more races than Brown, including a win at the 2024 Bathurst 500, his consistency ultimately cost him the title, as he finished in second place.[38] The season was regarded as one of the most dominant for a team in the championship.[39]
2025: Inaugural Sprint Cup champion
[edit]2025 saw the Supercars season being split into three, with the Enduro Cup making its return alongside the introduction of the Sprint Cup and the Finals Series.[40] Triple Eight entered the season as championship favourites, as Feeney dominated the first part of the season. This dominance led to him being crowned the inaugural Supercars Sprint Cup champion, clinching the cup in the first race at Ipswich,[41] and included twelve race wins over the eight rounds included in the cup alongside thirteen pole-positions, a five race win-streak, 576 lads led and a 345-point advantage over second place, Matt Payne.[42] Halfway through the season, Triple Eight announced they had re-signed Feeney, alongside teammate Brown, until the end of 2029.[43]
Though falling behind during the Enduro Cup, with a ninth place finish at The Bend and a fifth place finish at Bathurst,[44] Feeney bounced back with two second place finishes and a pole-position at the first round of the Finals Series in the Gold Coast.[45]
