Supercars New Zealand: Brown extends championship lead with race two victory

Will Brown and Broc Feeney have delivered another 1-2 finish for Triple Eight in race two of the third round of the Supercars championship in New Zealand.

Under threatening skies that never delivered any rain until the cooldown lap, the duo locked into 1-2 formation from about half-race distance as any challengers dropped back.

It enabled Brown to take his third win of the season after forcing his way past his team-mate with eight laps to run.

“I was trying not to use the front bar, awesome racing, that is what it was all about,” said a smiling Brown after coming out on top of a tense battle.

“I locked the rears and I just got around. I might have touched him once, it was hard to resist. That was the best race of my life!”

“We put on a good show for the crowd,” said Feeney, who started second on the grid.

“Will had a lot of speed today. Wet conditions, we were learning, we learned a lot, The main job was to do a reset and get on with it today.”
