Walkinshaw Andretti United\u2019s Mostert was crowned champion on Sunday amid heartbreaking scenes for Feeney, who had dominated much of the regular season.<\/p>\n

Mostert, however, made the most of the new three-round Finals Series, winning three times and scoring six podiums from the seven races.<\/p>\n

Feeney held a 23-point lead into the final race but was spun to the back of the field by Mostert\u2019s teammate Ryan Wood on lap one and later suffered engine trouble.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no doubt he\u2019s a deserving champion,\u201d said Feeney of Mostert at Monday night\u2019s Gala Awards.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think everyone can agree, the run that he went on this Finals Series is something that he should be truly proud of and he\u2019s a great role model for the sport.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s fantastic with the fans, with all the drivers. He\u2019s always been great to me, and I really want to congratulate him on what is a fantastic championship.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve honestly pulled together a run like the Broncos [NRL team], have got to the final and cracked on some great form, so congratulations to you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mostert\u2019s championship came in his 12th full-time Supercars season.<\/p>\n

The then Ford Performance Racing-contracted driver made his debut midway through 2013 when he was loaned out to Dick Johnson Racing.<\/p>\n

Among others to publicly praise Mostert at Monday\u2019s Gala was Will Davison, who the youngster replaced in FPR\u2019s main game line-up in 2014.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe level you\u2019ve been at for some time now, I think you\u2019d be a multiple champion if you were in a Shell V-Power Gen2 Mustang, I\u2019ll give you that tip,\u201d said Davison to Mostert.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut also to see the standard Broc Feeney has lifted to this year, what he\u2019s done this year has blown my mind, so my heart\u2019s hurting for him as well, but that\u2019s this new format we\u2019ve got.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mostert left his long-time home at FPR\/Prodrive\/Tickford Racing at the end of 2019 for WAU in the pursuit of a championship.<\/p>\n

He finished each of his first five seasons at WAU in the top five of the standings and said on Sunday evening he feared he\u2019d never win it.<\/p>\n

The two-time Bathurst 1000 winner has taken out just about every other Supercars honour, including a sweep of gongs at last year\u2019s Gala.<\/p>\n

\u201cChaz, you are an absolute superstar, one of the most loved, respected and popular drivers on the grid,\u201d said Supercars CEO James Warburton at the Gala.<\/p>\n

\u201cA true character, now a champion, and I must say, you have always been an incredible ambassador for our sport.\u201d<\/p>\n
