Whincup executed two moves on Will Brown's Erebus co-driver Jack Perkins during the early stages of the race, one either side of the first stops, to set up yet another Sandown victory for Triple Eight.
Feeney inherited the car in a comfortable lead at the second round of stops and looked to be on for an easy win – only for a late restart to bunch up the field. But Whincup's replacement in the Chevrolet Camaro outfit held off series leader Brodie Kostecki to secure his first Sandown 500 win and a sixth for team boss Whincup.
