Broc Feeney has overcome an early wheel spin to convert his pole position into a dominant win at the Tasmania Supercars Championship, drawing level with the great Dick Johnson on the all-time race wins list.
Feeney's wheel spin at the start of Sunday's race allowed Matt Payne to edge ahead at the first corner.
The two cars touched wheels as they jostled for positions, with Feeney holding the inside lane and coming out on top, before holding on from there for a clear victory.
Feeney finished 7.268 seconds ahead of Payne, with Kai Allen third in the 84-lap, 200km race at Symmons Plains Raceway.
The triumph was Feeney's fourth of the year and 30th of his career, placing the 23-year-old equal 12th alongside Johnson on the all-time list.
"That's awesome to share that with DJ, that's really special," Feeney said.
"To think I've got 30 wins now is pretty crazy. Thirty go quick. Every one is a pleasure. This one obviously means a lot as well. Pretty stoked with that one."
Feeney's win keeps him on top of the standings after five rounds, with Payne second and Brodie Kostecki third.
Kostecki endured a nightmare race on Sunday.
A botched first pit stop in which Kostecki's team didn't get enough fuel into his car meant he was ordered to go into conservation mode, much to his displeasure.
Brake issues further halted his progress, with Kostecki's third place on the grid gaining him only a lowly 12th-placed finish.
"I was pretty confused to be honest," Kostecki told Fox Sports.
"I knew five laps in that I was in a world of hurt. We'll go back to the workshop and work it out."
Feeney was "stoked" to overcome his early wheel spin and come out with the win.
"It's the first one I've blown in a while," Feeney said.
"A little bit disappointment in myself with that. It was pretty tight with Matty through (turns) one and two.
"I think our wheels touched out of two, and I was able to get the run."
Payne was happy to see Penrite Racing snare second and third spot but was disappointed not to get the win.
"I got a good start, and tried to run around the outside," Payne said.
"We made a bit of contact and I got pushed a bit wide, and I coiuldn't quite recover out of the corner.
"It was a good battle through the first corner, but unfortunately that was as close as I was going to get.
"It was frustrating. I really wanted to win today."
Allen came from seventh on the grid to nab third.
William Brown, who was edged off the track earlier in the race and vented his frustrations on the radio on numerous occasions, finished fifth, with Anton De Pasquale fourth.
PremiAir Racing rookie Jayden Ojeda, who started a career-best third on the grid, finished sixth.
Chaz Mostert came from 18th to finish a respectable ninth, but Jack Le Brocq couldn't finish the race due to mechanical issues.
