Feeney edges Mostert in Supercars seeding mix-up

Official timing initially listed Mostert third and Feeney fourth in the championship order after the Sandown finals, an order also reproduced on the Supercars website. A later re-issue placed Feeney ahead, a distinction that matters because bonus points are applied according to championship position.

The two drivers finished level on championship points after the weekend's two races, and Supercars' Operations Manual does not contain a clear tie-breaker for this situation during the finals. The championship had already added a supplementary regulation for Sandown that resolves ties at an event using the classification of the last race. Supercars' TV broadcast applied that rule, showing Feeney seeded third, while the official website continued to show Mostert ahead until it was updated late on Monday.

Supercars has also widened the seeding points spread before the Grand Final, with Matt Payne on 150, Brodie Kostecki on 120, Feeney on 96 and Mostert on 78. There are 300 points available across the three races in Adelaide.
