The 10 drivers who will fight for the 2025 Supercars title in its\u00a0maiden Finals series have been chosen following a dramatic Bathurst 1000 at Mount Panorama<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After Matt Payne and Garth Tander<\/a> took the win in the race for Grove Racing<\/a>, and taking with it Supercars\u2019 Enduro Cup, Anton De Pasquale<\/a> (Team 18<\/a>), Thomas Randle<\/a> (Tickford Racing<\/a>), Ryan Wood<\/a> (Walkinshaw Andretti United<\/a>) and Kai Allen<\/a> (Grove Racing) made it into the top 10.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They will join Triple Eight\u2019s Broc Feeney<\/a> (who had already qualified as the Sprint Cup winner) and Will Brown<\/a>, Payne (Grove Racing), Cameron Waters<\/a> (Tickford), Chaz Mostert<\/a> (Walkinshaw Andretti United) and Brodie Kostecki<\/a> (Dick Johnson Racing<\/a>).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Allen only sealed his spot when his eighth place meant he edged out both Andre Heimgartner<\/a> (Brad Jones Racing<\/a>) and Cam Hill (Matt Stone Racing<\/a>) by just three points.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Feeney and Payne will have a 25-point bonus when the end-of-season Finals start on the streets of the Gold Coast in two weeks\u2019 time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The drama to determine the top 10 went to the final seconds of the 1000. Randle had to overcome two five-second time penalties for infringements in the race, dropping him to 11th, while Wood looked to have the race at his mercy until he suffered a broken engine sensor – fast work by the WAU team got him back on the track to score points as the 19th\u00a0placed finisher.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Likewise, Anton De Pasquale had to pit for repairs after his Team 18 Chevrolet suffered damage, finishing the race in 20th\u00a0place.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cooper Murray<\/a> can feel that he was very close to making it in to Finals. The Erebus Motorsport<\/a> driver went to Bathurst 23rd\u00a0in the points but had he won the race, which looked possible with a handful of laps remaining, he and co-driver Jobe Stewart would have taken the Endurance Cup and with it, a spot in the Finals.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 10 drivers in title contention, and the 14 who are not, will line up on the streets of the Gold Coast on 24-25 October.\u00a0<\/p>\n
