Supercars rookie Broc Feeney has been left speechless after becoming the youngest winner of the Adelaide 500.
The 20-year-old Gold Coaster outclassed Saturday’s race winner Chaz Mostert to win by just 0.9 seconds and claim victory in Holden’s last-ever race.
Feeney, who only replaced the retired Jamie Whincup this year, described his first career Supercars win as the best moment of his life.
“I can’t believe it,” an emotional Feeney said.
“It’s been an awesome year, I felt like the win’s always been close.
“To get it at the last race in front of all these fans for Holden, it means so much.
“To everyone who’s supported me, it’s been one hell of a ride. “In that race, I was out to show next year I can hopefully be a contender.”

More than 258,000 Supercars fans packed into Adelaide Parklands to witness the young whiz kip take top spot on the podium.
It was the first time the event had been held there since February 2020, due to the pandemic.
Feeney admitted it was a race he’ll never forget, not just because of his Maiden win, but because it was a fairytale final send-off for Holden.
“I’m always going to remember this one, the last one for Holden, my first ever win.
“I was pretty zoned in, they were just trying to keep me calm. “I was under a lot of pressure for the whole race, but I had a wicked car.
“I don’t know what to say… it’s probably the best moment of my life so far.”
