Broc Feeney has capped a dominant day for Supercars' young guns by winning the final race of Perth Supersprint for the third victory of his promising career.

The Red Bull Ampol youngster converted his pole to lead the entire 42-lap race at Wanneroo Raceway on Sunday and add to his win at the Australian Grand Prix round this month.

Feeney waited late to complete his pit-stop, but the strategy paid off as he finished ahead of in-form Erebus duo Will Brown and Brodie Kostecki.

The 20-year-old broke through for a famous victory at the Adelaide 500 last December for the first win of his career and has not looked back.

Two-time defending champion Shane van Gisbergen, who earlier revealed his contract extension with Red Bull Ampol only runs until the end of 2024, crossed the line in 12th after qualifying 19th.

Van Gisbergen won the first race of the round on Saturday but still trails Kostecki in the championship standings after his costly disqualification in Newcastle.

Earlier, Brown secured the second win of his burgeoning career as Kostecki followed him across the line for a memorable Coca Cola Racing one-two finish.

Brown saluted for his first victory since 2021 in Sydney to take the second race of the Perth Supersprint at Wanneroo Raceway on Sunday.

The 24-year-old converted his pole to another victory as Erebus teammate Kostecki claimed second.

Erebus lead the teams championship while Kostecki has an early buffer at the top of the drivers standings.

"I had a bloody fast car, I just kept going and I was wondering if I was pushing too hard and not conserving, but it was really fast," Brown said.

"Awesome for everyone from our team, the cars are very fast.

"It's pretty surreal for me and Brodie. To be only signed a couple of years ago and now be here one-two is just fantastic."

Ford veteran James Courtney finished third for an important podium, bouncing back after his Mustang dramatically caught on fire during the last round in Melbourne.
