Supercars reigning champion Will Brown and series leader Broc Feeney will race for Triple Eight until at least the end of 2029 in bumper new deals announced today.
The top two contenders for the 2025 title have inked fresh three-year deals to stick with the Banyo squad, taking them off the driver market for the foreseeable future.
The deals take both Brown and Feeney deep into Triple Eight’s impending Ford era, with the squad set to become the Blue Oval’s homologation team from next season.

“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,” Brown said.
“For me there wasn’t a 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.”
Brown, who joined Triple Eight from Erebus last season, said recommitting alongside Feeney would help to drive the team further forward even as it dominates the 2025 championship standings.
“I was really happy to hear that both Broc and I signed on together,” he said.
“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.”
Feeney’s new contract will see him race in Triple Eight colours for at least eight seasons, having made his debut in place of retiring legend Jamie Whincup in 2022 as a 19-year-old.
“There was no other place that I’d rather be,” he said. “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.
“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.
“Now I don’t have to think about anything else except for winning for another few years, which is a good mentality to have.”
Feeney leads Brown in the drivers championship by 220 points, and the 22-year-old is likely to claim the season’s first piece of minor silverware in the final round of the inaugural Sprint Cup at Ipswich next weekend.
Triple Eight managing director Whincup praised his duo for lifting the team to new heights this season.
“Personally I just love what these two bring to the table,” he said. “They are without doubt two of the most naturally talented drivers in the country.
“Their driving is dynamic and exciting — it’s the kind of stuff that makes people fall in love with the sport.
“But it’s their attitude that really stands out. They’ve both got an incredible work ethic not just when the helmet’s on but in everything they do.
“They’re the kind of people who return their shopping trolley to the rack when they’re done — genuinely good humans who care about the little things.
“Their enthusiasm is infectious and aligns perfectly with the mindset we’re building here: glass half full, team-first, possibilities are endless.
“That kind of energy lifts everyone around them, and it’s a big reason why we’re so excited about the future.”

DRIVER MARKET REMAINS UNCERTAIN FOR 2026
Neither Brown nor Feeney was on the market next season, but their signatures come as the 2026 silly season heats up ahead of a what’s expected to be a crunch around the enduro season.
The top five squads in the teams championship will all carry unchanged line-ups into next season, but no other team has a full complement of drivers locked down, while three garages have no drivers committed at all.
There are 10 seats up for grabs on next year’s grid.
Arguably the biggest name in the mix is Cam Hill. The Matt Stone Racing gun is the highest placed driver in the championship without a contact, sitting 11th in the standings and just 53 points off a finals berth thanks in part to his maiden victory earlier this season in Melbourne.
Matt Stone is keen to keep Hill tied to the team, but the 28-year-old has options and will have been talking to rival teams, with Brad Jones Racing considered top of the list. He’s tipped to make a decision imminently, perhaps before next weekend’s Ipswich Super 440.
The highest profile seat, meanwhile, is currently occupied by Dave Reynolds at Team 18, which will take the reins as General Motors homologation squad from next year, albeit under an all-in model as opposed to Triple Eight’s top-down approach.
Reynolds has endured a tough campaign this year, with just four top-10 finishes to his name. He’s 19th in the championship with 637 points. Teammate Anton de Pasquale is seventh and on track for finals with 981 points to his name.
Team 18 has an option on Reynolds’s contract but has yet to exercise it.
Rumours suggest General Motors will want to try to assemble an all-star line-up for its flagship team, having enjoyed Triple Eight’s dependably blockbuster partnerships for years. Whether Reynolds-De Pasquale fits the bill remains to be seen.
Brad Jones Racing is also a fascinating scenario, with only Andre Heimgartner confirmed among the team’s current quartet ahead of its first season in the Toyota tent.
Team owner Brad Jones has suggested son Macauley Jones is likely to return in the second garage.
Jaxon Evans’s contract is in the hands of title sponsor SCT Logistics, which reportedly rates the Kiwi highly and is predisposed to retain him.
Bryce Fullwood, however, told the Supercars Drivers Only podcast that he has “no idea” what his plan is for 2026 but added that Jones “might have half an idea”, perhaps suggesting he’s braced for change.
His seat has been linked to Hill should the current MSR star decide to move.

If Fullwood, who’s currently 14th and 132 points down on a finals berth, were to find himself ejected onto the market, PremiAir and Blanchard Racing Team could be options, with both totally unsubscribed, at least publicly.
Jack Le Brocq has comfortably accounted for rookie teammate Cooper Murray 17-5 in qualifying and 17-0 in races, but the pace margin is much narrower than you might think, with only 0.090 seconds between them in qualifying on average.
Le Brocq is nonetheless out of contract, and Erebus has highly rated rookies Jobe Stewart and Jarrod Hughes standing by for elevation.
PremiAir, meanwhile, has said little on matters of the driver market. Stanaway is new to the team this year alongside incumbent James Golding, but though he’s been a reasonable match in qualifying, he’s been more distant in race conditions.
There is, however, speculation his contract — which was announced as being “for 2025” last year — has a second year attached to it.
BRT is last on the list and will need to make at least one change, with James Courtney set to retire at the end of the season.
The team already made a driver change earlier this year, subbing Aaron Love for Aaron Cameron after the first round. Cameron is beginning to pick up the pace and find consistency, with Courtney praising his recent efforts as the rookie acclimatises to the main game.
