Michael Maguire will help Broc Feeney exact revenge on rival Chaz Mostert with the two-time premiership winner to lend his coaching expertise to the Supercars young gun who had his championship\u00a0crushed\u00a0in controversy.<\/p>\n
In an unprecedented cross-code knowledge-sharing alliance between Maguire and Triple Eight Race Engineering, Feeney and his team will be guided by the man who delivered the Broncos a fairytale premiership.<\/p>\n
News.com.au Australia can reveal the dual premiership-winning coach offered to mentor both Feeney and teammate Will Brown after forming an unofficial alliance that will also see Maguire study the winning culture of Jamie Whincup\u2019s all-conquering Supercars squad.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have always loved the V8 Supercars and I was very fortunate to spend time with many of the drivers at the Gold Coast 500,\u201d Maguire said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m a big fan of how each of the teams go about their race day. The different strategies are really interesting to watch.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve definitely bonded with Broc in particular as he\u2019s a huge Broncos fan and I\u2019m really looking forward to exchanging ideas on high performance and helping him where I can into 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adding serious volume to Feeney\u2019s championship bid, heavy metal icons Parkway Drive have thrown their support behind his quest to erase the heartbreak of last season\u2019s controversial finale.<\/p>\n
Mostert snatched the championship after his Walkinshaw Racing teammate took out the Triple Eight star, denying Feeney his first title win.<\/p>\n
The collaboration kicked off yesterday at Norwell Motorplex with a star-studded drive day.<\/p>\n
All five Parkway Drive members joined Maguire and the Broncos leadership group for a racing masterclass led by Feeney, Bathurst legend Paul Morris, and rising star Nash Morris.<\/p>\n
Lead singer Winston McCall upstaged a Broncos contingent \u2014 including Ben Hunt, Patrick Carrigan, Jesse Arthars, and Corey Jensen \u2014 by clocking the fastest time on the water-soaked skid pan behind the wheel of a V8.<\/p>\n
However, the competition heated up on the racetrack, with Maguire, Arthars, and Parkway Drive rhythm guitarist Luke Kilpatrick all impressing Feeney with their wheel work.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah the Broncos boys were pretty good as expected,\u201d Parkway Drive guitar player Kilpatrick said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I reckon we held our own. I don\u2019t think they were expecting a heavy metal band to issue much of a challenge but we gave as good as we got.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut we were all humbled when Broc got behind the wheel. I decided I would stick to guitar after watching him drive. All the Parkway boys will be cheering him on next year as he goes after the title.\u201d<\/p>\n
While he might have left the man he can now draw on for advice, Feeney said he was thrilled to be associated with Maguire.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m absolutely thrilled to have someone like Michael Maguire not only take an interest in what I do but also offer advice and support,\u201d Feeney said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is one of the best minds in Australian sport and has done it all in rugby league so to have him involved with the team is awesome.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am sure I will be able to learn a lot from both him and the players as they all know what it takes to be champions. I am also a big Broncos fan, so it is very cool.\u201d<\/p>\n
