The title fight has heated up in Darwin between the two Red Bull Ampol Racing teammates after Broc Feeney completed a clean-sweep of the race victories at Hidden Valley.
Feeney won the start and was never headed as teammate Will Brown followed him through to complete a Red Bull Ampol Racing 1-2.
It was a return to form for reigning Repco Supercars Championship winner Brodie Kostecki to complete the podium for Erebus Motorsport, his first since coming back to racing in New Zealand.
There was opening lap drama between Triple Eight Race Engineering Wildcard Cooper Murray and the R&J Batteries Camaro of Andre Heimgartner when the latter climbed on the driver’s side door. Just cosmetic damage was caused as both continued.
The resulting safety car and restart led to a strange entry onto the front straight where there was plenty of overlap towards the rear of the field resulting in a couple of penalties.
From there, the race ran interruption free as Feeney kept Brown at bay and the pit stops for the proved decisive when the latter emerged 2.7s behind his teammate after their respective services.
Kostecki was a safe third as James Golding held off Nick Percat, Jack Le Brocq, Will Davison and Anton De Pasquale for fourth despite the best efforts from the Bendix Racing driver.
Cameron Hill started sixth and finished ninth in what was a solid Sunday for the sophomore Supercars driver, while Richie Stanaway led the Penrite Racing efforts in 10th.
Those to finish outside the top 10 included David Reynolds, who made 10 positions to be 12th, Cam Waters in 15th just ahead of Chaz Mostert in 16th and Matt Payne was 20th.
The next round of the Repco Supercars Championship is in Townsville on July 5-7.
