Feeney and Brown: the future of Triple Eight

Will Brown and Broc Feeney

By Thomas Miles

Broc Feeney and Will Brown are not going anywhere as Triple Eight has locked the pair in for its medium-term future.

Despite both drivers still being contracted until the end of 2026, Triple Eight has swooped in to protect its star duo deep into the Ford era.

Both Feeney and Brown have received contract extensions to ensure they remain at the most successful team in history until the end of the decade.

The pair will not go out of contract until the end of 2029, which would be their sixth season together.

Feeney has been in Triple Eight colours throughout his entire full-time career, dating back to 2022 and has enjoyed 22 wins.

Brown moved to Triple Eight from Erebus as Shane van Gisbergen’s replacement last year and celebrated in style by winning the Supercars crown.

Since they have formed a partnership, they have been brilliant, ensuring a Triple Eight car has been on the podium in 38 of 46 races, while they have won almost half with 22.

Feeney said there was “no other place I would rather be” as he charges to a crushing Sprint Cup success having won seven of his last eight starts.

“It’s awesome to sign a second contract with Triple Eight,” he said. 

“After signing a long-term deal initially, then to sign on for another multi-year deal is really exciting.

“For me, there was no other place that I’d rather be here in Australia and, you know, I’ve always loved being with Triple Eight here so it’s awesome to already be renewing for the future.
“I think the results this year are showing the strong relationship that we’ve got here, and Triple Eight’s not one to go through drivers, a lot of the guys have been here for a very long time, so hopefully I can continue to get the results and hopefully some big trophies to go with it in the next few years.

“Obviously Will and I get along pretty well, it’s always good to get along really well and work together well and I think it’s really good for team and really good for the future, locking in younger guys that can stick around for a long time, it’s exciting. 

“I mean, now I don’t have to think about anything else except for winning for another few years, which is a good mentality to have.” 

Brown has adapted to life at Triple Eight like a duck to water and had no doubt about staying.

“It’s cool to re-sign, obviously it’s fairly early, I had another year on my contract, but I think it’s cool after winning the Championship last year that the team has come to us and wanted to re- sign us sooner than later to lock us down,” he said.

“For me there wasn’t a question mark, no question mark about the team in any way, I’m very happy here, the team does such a fantastic job. 

“So to re-sign with this team is amazing and this soon makes it even better. 

“Looking forward to having my future sewn up and just concentrating on the racing.

“Obviously, you have Broc going pretty well, I was really happy to hear that both Broc and I signed on together. 

“For me it’s about having a competitive teammate, which I absolutely do have this year that’s for sure. 

“He’s been doing a fantastic job, but it pushes you to be better and it also keeps the team operating at a very high level, that’s all of our crew, all of our crew are the best of the best and if we can have that in drivers it sets us up.”
