Supercars championship leader Broc Feeney has flaunted blistering pace to claim pole position for the final sprint in Perth.
Cam Waters looked to be in the box seat for pole after setting the pace with a lap time of 54.9104 seconds as the fourth driver in Sunday’s top-10 shootout at Wanneroo Raceway.
But Feeney was flawless and blitzed his Tickford rival by 0.2079 seconds as the final driver to have a solo attempt.

The 22-year-old will be out to claim back-to-back wins after snaring his sixth pole of the season and No.14 of his career.
Triple Eight teammate Will Brown was third fastest and will share the second row with Grove Racing’s Matt Payne.
Ryan Wood was the fifth driver to have a solo attempt at Wanneroo Raceway and qualified in seventh.
On Saturday, the Walkinshaw Andretti United youngster broke through for an emotional maiden Supercars win, before a suspension failure ended his bid for two consecutive victories.
Meanwhile, Wood’s teammate Chaz Mostert will struggle to back up his podium efforts after qualifying in 14th.
Mostert finished third in the opening two sprints.
“One day, you’re right smack bang in the middle and you’re happy as, and one day you’re just a little bit out of it,” he said.
“Not really sure what to think about that.”
Local product Brodie Kostecki’s hopes for a home race victory were dashed when a poor qualifying effort condemned him to 15th.
Kostecki finished the two opening sprints in Perth in fifth and seventh.
The final sprint in Perth starts at 3.15pm (WST).
