The 2026 Supercars season is set to begin in Sydney this weekend, but the lead-up to the event has been marred by ongoing animosity between drivers. Amid the media call, a particularly awkward moment occurred when Feeney snubbed Wood, who had been involved in a controversial incident during the 2025 Grand Final. Feeney, the 2025 season's dominant driver, was denied the title on the final day after Wood tagged him into a spin on the opening lap. The incident sparked a heated debate, with Feeney expressing his disinterest in watching the documentary 'Road to Glory', which focuses on the season's events. Despite the tension, Feeney and reigning champion Chaz Mostert had a heart-to-heart conversation at the Gala Awards dinner, ensuring no bad blood between them. However, Wood's attempt to reach out to Feeney via text was left unanswered, indicating a continued rift between the two drivers. While Feeney is supportive of Supercars' efforts to promote the sport, he remains focused on moving on from the controversy. Wood, on the other hand, is eager to put the incident behind him and focus on the new season. The question remains: can the two drivers put aside their differences and work together for the good of the sport? Or will the animosity continue to cast a shadow over the 2026 season?
