The 2019 Super3 Series champion joins Angelo Mouzouris at the powerhouse Supercars squad which will expand to two entries in the second-tier series for 2021.

Feeney also made his Supercars main game debut at this year’s Bathurst 1000, finishing 10th alongside James Courtney.

“It’s hard to put into words how excited I am to join the team in 2021 and to return for my second season in Super2. It’s an unbelievable opportunity to be able to join Triple Eight and a dream come true to join such a dominant team,” said Feeney.

“I have a clear goal in 2021 and that is to win the Super2 Series. I know Triple Eight will give me the best opportunity to reach that goal.

“I have worked through all of my years of racing to reach the Supercars Championship and now to be aligned with Triple Eight is surreal. My goal is to make it to the Supercars Championship, and I know racing at Triple Eight will give me the best shot at the Super2 Series which will hopefully show that I am ready.

“I can’t thank Roland and the entire Triple Eight team enough for giving me this opportunity. It’s been a dream to be a part of this team and it has come true. I must also thank my Dad and Mum who have put everything into me over my whole racing career, as well as Boost Mobile for giving me my first break.

“I finally have to thank Paul Morris who has made everything in my racing career possible. I cannot thank him enough for the opportunities that he has given me and to take me under his wing. Being involved at Norwell Motorplex has led to such great successes – even an introduction to Roland.”

Mouzouris will return for his second season in the Supercars development category with Triple Eight.

“I’m super excited moving into my second tin-top season with Triple Eight, and I can’t wait to move forward and build on what I have learnt this year,” said Mouzouris.

“I just want to see how 2021 plays out; I obviously want to do the best I can on and off the track and continue to improve. There is no set position goal other than to do the best I can, however there are personal goals that the team and I want to achieve.

“I’m excited for Broc to join the team too. It will be great having a teammate to learn off and push myself even further next year.

“I can’t thank Mantel Group and Pitbox enough for giving me another shot for next year. The team has become a second family to me, so I want to extend a massive thank you to them as well for guiding me through the year.”

Triple Eight confirmed that it reasons for entering two cars in the 2021 Super2 Series was to continue developing not only young driving talent but also engineers and mechanics.

“Over the last few years, Triple Eight has focused increasingly on developing young talent in motorsport, including drivers, engineers and mechanics. To have Broc joining Angelo is really exciting because it creates opportunities for more learning and growth across the board,” said Jessica Dane, Triple Eight’s co-owner.

“It was unfortunate for both drivers that the pandemic disrupted their first year in Super2, but they showed great potential in the handful of races in 2020, so our goal as a team next year will be to help Angelo and Broc maximise this opportunity and they’ll have the support of the whole Triple Eight team every step of the way.”

Supercars are yet to confirm the 2021 Dunlop Super2 Series calendar.
