BROC Feeney has the chance to clinch the 2025 Boost Mobile Pole Award by the end of this week.
Feeney is already up to 10 pole positions this year. His nearest rivals in that department, Cam Waters and Brodie Kostecki, have three each to their name.
If Feeney can emulate the pole sweeps he mustered at Albert Park and Hidden Valley at the upcoming Ipswich Super440 (August 8-10), the Golden Helmet Trophy and attached $50,000 prize will be his.
That’s because he would improve his tally to 13, 10 clear of Waters/Kostecki, with only nine races remaining.

Two of the three poles at Queensland Raceway might even be enough for the #88 pilot, if the other doesn’t go to Waters or Kostecki, pending tiebreakers.
Remarkably, this means Feeney could clinch the award even earlier than Scott McLaughlin did in his record-breaking 2017 campaign.
The DJR Team Penske star scored a record 16 poles in a single season that year, but he didn’t put the award beyond doubt until August 19 at Sydney Motorsport Park (Race 1 of Round 9).
McLaughlin remained far and away the qualifying benchmark throughout the following three seasons, but never secured the pole award as early as August 10 as Feeney might.
