Hi to all you Supercars Fans around the world!

The Penrite Oil Sandown 500 was run on the 14 – 16 November 2025.

This was round 12 of the 2025 Supercars Championship and held at Sandown Raceway in Melbourne.

The venue is a favourite for 888 Race Engineering / Red Bull Ampol Racing. They have won 11 of the last 12 races at Sandown since 2018.

Driver Will Davison started his 600^th race at this event. After 600+ races and 20 years in Supercars, it’s no wonder he has announced this will be his last season as a full-time driver.

This year’s Sandown 500 started with sunny weather and a dry track.

In the pre-race sessions:

• Anton de Pasquale was fastest in Practice 1
• David Reynolds was fastest in Practice 2
• Ryan Wood was fastest in Qualifying
• Ryan Wood was also fastest in the Top Ten Shootout

In Race 30 Ryan Wood started on pole position with Chaz Mostert alongside him.

The season leader Broc Feeney started 7^th on the grid. His teammate Will Brown was in 15^th. These are not great grid placings considering Broc Feeney had earned 15 race starts in pole position this season and needed to maintain his slim lead on the comp ladder. 

Chaz Mostert led off the start line for the first of 81 laps. Ryan Wood was right behind and followed by Brodie Kostecki, Anton de Pasquale and Kai Allen.

Ryan Wood in 2^nd place was playing rear gunner, protecting his teammate Chaz Mostert in the lead. Mostert was in close contention for the season competition, so his protection was an essential part of the strategy to help Mostert and the team.

The front of the field started to spread out by lap 7.

Matt Payne was the first car to pit on lap 15 from 5^th place. He rejoined the race in 24^th place.

Broc Feeney moved into the top 5. Will Brown moved up to 10^th.

On lap 19 Ryan Wood was the first of the leaders to pit.

On lap 22 Will brown moved up to 7^th place due to David Reynolds making a driver error.

After most cars cycled through their first pit stops Ryan Wood found himself in the lead. It didn’t last long. On lap 34 Chaz Mostert took the race lead back.

Mostert held the lead through the middle part of the race.

With 19 laps to go, Will Brown had gained an incredible 11 positions into 4^th place. He was now right behind his team-mate, Broc Feeney.

With 4 laps remaining Will Brown had already passed Broc Feeny and now passed Ryan Wood for second place. However, he still was 4.440 seconds behind Chaz Mostert in the lead.

In the final stages Mostert put together an amazing drive to stay ahead. Brown could not catch up and was under constant attack from Ryan Wood.

Mostert crossed the finish line 3.835 seconds ahead of Will Brown. Ryan Wood came in 0.684 seconds later to take 3^rd place.

Most importantly, Broc Feeney came in 4^th place. Once the racing points were added to the season tally, Chaz Mostert became the new championship lead by 3 points over Feeney. The competition was going to be fierce.

Race 30 Results:

1^st Chaz Mostert – Walkinshaw Andretti United
2^nd Will Brown – Red Bull Ampol Racing
3^rd Ryan Wood – Walkinshaw Andretti United

Broc Feeney earned pole position for race 31. It was his 16^th pole start this year, equalling Scott McLaughlin’s record from 2017. Alongside him was Anton de Pasquale in P2.

The championship competition leader, Chaz Mostert was in P3 on the grid.

Broc Feeney got the lead off the start line for the first of 81 laps.

It took about 5 laps before Anton de Pasquale made his move to take the lead from Broc Feeney.

Ryan Wood along with 4 other cars pitted. They all returned to the track except Ryan Wood. His car had issues with a heap of threads stuck on the wheel nut. The pit crew struggled while the clock ticked away.

Chaz Mostert was motivated after winning the first race at this event. Although it was still early in the 81 laps, he took the first opportunity to pass Broc Feeney for 2^nd place.

Broc Feeney and Anton de Pasquale peeled off the track to take their first pit stop.

On lap 7 Mostert followed into the pits. His teammate Ryan Wood was still in the bay struggling with his wheel nut. They had to push Wood’s car out of the way to take care of Mostert.

The front runners returned to the track and the competition was fiery.

It wasn’t long before Broc Feeney took the lead back from Anton de Pasquale.

Feeney’s teammate Will Brown had started on the grid in P17. By lap 15 he was already running 4^th. Having the two Red Bull Ampol Racing drivers up the front was surely going to make life difficult for the new competition leader, Chaz Mostert.

By the middle of the race Broc Feeney still held the lead and was looking strong. Chaz Mostert was running 2^nd but took a spin at turn 4. He recovered quickly but had dropped back to 9^th place.

Broc Feeney now had a 2+ second lead on the pack. Anton de Pasquale was in 2^nd place and Will Brown in 3^rd.

Feeney used each lap to increase his lead. By lap 66 of 81, he had increased his lead to 4+ seconds and proving very difficult to catch.

With 6 laps remaining no one could match Feeney’s pace. His laser focus and flawless driving made it an incredible scene.

In the end he crossed the finish line with a 4.377 second lead over Anton de Pasquale. Will Brown took 3^rd place. Chaz Mostert came in 4^th.

This was Broc Feeney’s 13^th win for the year. It also put him back in the championship lead (by 20 points).
