The Tickford Racing star rejuvenated his season with a win, a second and a third across the three races, set up by vastly improved qualifying form.<\/p>\n

That netted the Triple Crown, which since last year is awarded to the weekend\u2019s top points scorer rather than requiring a weekend sweep.<\/p>\n

Waters\u2019 hairiest moment at Hidden Valley came on the out-lap after his final pit stop on Sunday when Feeney attempted an unlikely overtake at Turn 7.<\/p>\n

\u201cI came out of the pits on a cold tyre, which around here actually has a lot of grip straight away,\u201d recounted Waters.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut obviously Broc was trying to pass me while he had a chance and threw it up the inside at [Turn] 7 pretty optimistically.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was never going to work [and there was] contact. I was lucky I didn\u2019t go off the road. If I did I would have bled a lot of positions.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe had a crack, it didn\u2019t work, gave the position back and that\u2019s that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Feeney had initially complained on team radio that Waters had moved in reaction to his overtaking attempt, but later revised his view.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think he expected I was going to do it,\u201d Feeney told Speedcafe.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo as he was pulling back over (to the racing line) I thought I\u2019d have a crack up the inside.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he kind of saw me and kind of held his line just as I was about to go in there.<\/p>\n

\u201cI let the position back straight away. I don\u2019t think I had overlap, I just got him in the rear guard.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere wasn\u2019t enough room at the point where I went in.<\/p>\n

\u201cI said [on the radio] he probably reacted to me, but to be honest it was opening up and then kind of stopped.<\/p>\n

\u201cI let him have it back. I don\u2019t know if it would have been a penalty or not but there\u2019s no point losing a couple of positions over that.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were probably a pretty similar pace, he might have had a little bit more on me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Feeney ended a lacklustre weekend for Triple Eight fifth in the final race and sixth in the weekend pointscore.<\/p>\n

Grove Racing\u2019s Matt Payne and Kai Allen were tied for second, 18 points adrift of Waters\u2019 tally of 272.<\/p>\n

Sunday race winner Anton De Pasquale of Team 18 and Feeney\u2019s Triple Eight teammate Will Brown rounded out the top five.<\/p>\n
