Matt Payne extends championship lead at Perth Supercars weekend

Matt Payne secured pole position for both races at the Bosch Power Tools Perth Super 440 and converted the first pole into a win, while finishing second in the second race, extending his championship lead at Wanneroo Raceway in Perth, Australia. Broc Feeney claimed pole for the final race, overtook Payne on lap 28 of race two and claimed his fifth victory of the season, ending a seven‑race winless streak for Triple Eight Race Engineering. Payne entered the final race with a 107‑point advantage over Feeney. Additional notes from the weekend include a two‑grid‑spot penalty for Brodie Kostecki after a qualifying infringement, and a safety‑car period triggered by an incident involving Kostecki and Anton De Pasquale. Kai Allen finished third in race two, while other contenders such as Cam Waters, Ryan Wood and Will Brown were mentioned as potential threats.
