Hill stuns Feeney for first Supercars win in Melbourne

Supercars underdog Cam Hill has pulled off a massive upset against Triple Eight young gun Broc Feeney to claim a career-first race win and lead a Matt Stone Racing one-two finish.

Less than 24 hours after claiming a maiden podium finish, Hill got the jump on pole-sitter Feeney at Melbourne's Albert Park on Friday and never relinquished his lead, winning by a clear half a second.

His first victory comes in his third season as a full-time Supercars driver.

"It's unreal. I was pretty nervous before that one because I recognised the opportunity we had," Hill said.

"I definitely feel in my third year now in the main game, that it's all starting to gel really nicely."

Hill cleverly blocked Feeney on the way to turn three of the city circuit to open the door for teammate Nick Percat to move into second.

Feeney, after breaking through for his first race win of the season the day before, was made to settle for fourth after teammate Will Brown slipped past in the final laps to finish third.

"Broc made a bit of a mistake coming out of the main straight, so really, I just sort of drove past him," Brown said.

"I thought I'd move up and see if I had anything for these guys and I just touched Nick, and we had a little bit of a race on the second last life, but I really didn't have enough for these guys."

Carnage ensued before drivers could finish the first circuit of the 19-lap sprint, with Erebus driver Jack Le Brocq suffering heavy damage to the front of his Chevrolet Camaro.

Le Brocq spun into the wall exiting turn five after contact from Walkinshaw Andretti United's Ryan Wood on the inside, losing the front bar of his car and ushering in the safety car.

Wood was slapped with a pit-lane penalty for a driving infringement.

Le Brocq cut a frustrated figure as he was watched the remainder of the sprint from the garage.

"I'm all for a bit of hard racing but when we're writing cars off like that, it gets pretty silly," Le Brocq said.

The safety car came on a second time when David Reynolds (Team 18) was sent into the gravel on the fifth lap after a bump from Tickford's Thomas Randle.

Reynolds crossed the finish line last in 23rd, while series leader Cam Waters was sixth.

Drivers will return to Albert Park at 9.05am on Saturday for back-to-back qualifying sessions.
