Broc Feeney has claimed another 2023 Supercars race win, taking out the third and final race at the Bosch Power Tools Perth SuperSprint.
Feeney qualified on pole ahead of Erebus pair Brodie Kostecki and Will Brown and took his Camaro to victory in a dominant performance.
It was a chaotic start but Feeney was able to hold on his lead with a lights to flag victory for the 20-year-old, his second for 2023.
Kostecki and Brown enjoyed a battle of their own throughout Sunday afternoon’s 42-lap affair, with Brown getting past Kostecki after completing their compulsory pit stops to claim second ahead of his teammate.
Kostecki leaves Western Australia with his Championship lead intact, while Erebus Motorsport also maintain their Teams’ Championship lead after a strong weekend.
Shane van Gisbergen struggled on Sunday after his race win on Saturday, qualifying in 21st for the final race of the weekend before making his way up to 12th at the chequered flag, but still losing some ground on Kostecki in the overall standings.

Earlier in the day, Brown himself secured victory in Race 9 of the Championship at Wanneroo.
Qualifying on pole, Brown was able to keep his lead heading in to turn one, ahead of David Reynolds before steering his Camaro to an impressive victory.
He didn’t have it all his own way, with Kostecki again making his presence felt throughout. Brown was able to hang on though, powering through in the race’s early stages to set up a strong afternoon and comfortable one-two finish for Erebus.
Sunday’s strong performance for Brown contrasted with his Saturday struggles, but the turnaround made for a strong and commanding weekend for the Erebus pair.
Behind them, James Courtney rounded out the podium on Sunday’s opening race, finishing ahead of fellow Mustang pilots Chaz Mostert and Will Davison.
