Supercars Chevy Teams Clean House At Adelaide 2024

The Supercars Chevy teams capped off an incredible 2024 Australian Supercars season with a pair of wins and a championship trophy, compliments of Triple Eight Racing and the talent of Broc Feeney and Will Brown in the Adelaide 500.

On November 16^th, 2024, Race 23 got under way with a pair of Ford Mustang GT racers out front. Feeney, driving the No. 88 Chevy Camaro, bided his time, using pit strategy to gain ground on the leaders. He swept into the lead with Brodie Kostecki brought his No. 1 Camaro down pit lane and continued to trade the top spot back and forth as the race wore on. Another pit cycle put Brown back on track behind Matt Payne’s No. 19 Mustang, but he tracked him down and finally executed the pass in Turn 9, and then he set sail.

Behind him, Brown wheeled his No. 87 Camaro to the runner-up spot. As the championship leader, he knew he needed to perform flawlessly at Adelaide to seal the deal. While Feeney shot across the line in first, Brown captured a P2 finish, mathematically securing the 2024 title.

“Awesome day, Broc did a great job,” Brown said after the race. “I made it hard for myself in the pits having the steering wheel locked, the boys couldn’t get the pit stop done there, but awesome to drive back, and to win the championship in front of all these people.”

The Supercars Chevy teams again hit the track for Race 24, the final round of the 2024 season. Brown received a tap from Kostecki on Lap 9, sending his Camaro for a spin, dropping him outside the top 20 as he gathered his race car back up. Brown rallied back throughout the race, proving his No. 87 Camaro had the speed to pace the field.

Things might have gone differently if Feeney hadn’t had a dustup with Chaz Mostert’s No. 25 Mustang. Feeney and Mostert made contact, punting the leading Mustang in the closing laps. While Feeney crossed the line first, followed by Brown, the sanctioning body dealt two 15-second penalties to Feeney for his on-track actions, dropping him to seventh in the official standings. Brown, meanwhile, was crowned the winner of the race after the results were adjusted for the penalties, with Mostert scored second.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t all success for Supercars Chevy team Triple Eight. The organization was fined $1,500 and docked 30 teams’ championship points after a wheel nut off the Feeney machine rolled into the fast lane after a pit stop in Race 24.

The team incurred another fine of $4,000 just a day earlier for a procedural breach when its two entries parked on pit lane instead of proceeding to their respective place boards for interviews.
