A dramatic Sandown 500 has Broc Feeney, Chaz Mostert, Will Brown and rookie sensation Kai Allen set to face-off in Adelaide at the end of the month.<\/p>\n

Mostert secured his place by winning Saturday\u2019s opening 250km leg of the Sandown weekend, leaving three spots to be decided today.<\/p>\n

Feeney ensured he advanced with a Sunday race victory that also secured him the top spot on the points table.<\/p>\n

Brown started the weekend below the elimination line in fifth but moved to third on Saturday and held that spot with a third-place finish today.<\/p>\n

Allen was the beneficiary of Matt Payne\u2019s Sunday misfortune, leap-frogging his teammate for fourth in points after Payne copped steering damage in a costly clash with Cam Waters.<\/p>\n

Payne, Waters and Thomas Randle were all eliminated from title contention.<\/p>\n

Feeney\u2019s position at the head of the standings after Sandown ensures he\u2019ll start the finale with 5050 points (including a 50-point seeding bonus).<\/p>\n

Mostert will start on 5030, Brown 5015 and Allen 5000, with 300 points up for grabs across three races in Adelaide.<\/p>\n
