Overview
- Matt Payne won the Race 3 finale at Wanneroo Raceway after an undercut pit stop and a post‑pit wheel‑to‑wheel clash with Broc Feeney left both drivers with damaged rear tyres.
- Payne reported a left‑rear vibration from a bent rim but managed the car to the chequered flag, finishing 1.28 seconds ahead of Feeney.
- Triple Eight and Broc Feeney showed strong pace across qualifying and the Top 10 Shootout, with Feeney taking pole, but a lap‑difference in pit timing and cooler tyres on rejoin denied them the victory.
- The weekend featured multiple operational issues that influenced results, including Kai Allen’s qualifying power‑steering failure that left him 23rd before he recovered to fifth, Brodie Kostecki’s incomplete fuel fill that forced an extra stop, and Will Brown’s clash with Rylan Gray that drew a 15‑second penalty.
- As a result of the Perth weekend, Payne has stretched his championship lead to 118 points over Feeney and the series now turns to Queensland Raceway for the final Sprint Cup round on 21–23 August.
