Feeney Secures Pole Position in Top 10 Shootout at Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500
Feeney secured pole position in the Top 10 Shootout with a fast lap time, beating Thomas Randle by a narrow margin. This marked Feeney's 15th pole position in 2025, making it a special achievement for the Red Bull Ampol Racing Camaro driver. Despite some challenges during the lap, Feeney managed to maintain his lead and secure the top spot on the grid for the upcoming race. Randle will start in second place, followed by Mostert, Waters, Courtney, Heimgartner, Cameron, Allen, Payne, and Stanaway. Payne's lap was discounted due to a kerb strike, while Stanaway faced an early setback with a lock-up at Turn 1.
The Top 10 Shootout took place under overcast conditions, with rain expected later in the day at the Gold Coast. The 250km second leg of the Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 is scheduled to start at 2:10pm local time. Several Finals Series drivers, including Wood, Kostecki, De Pasquale, and Brown, will start outside the top 10 after a challenging morning qualifying session. Despite the obstacles faced by some drivers, the competition promises to be intense as the race unfolds.
