The field was released again with just four laps left and Walkinhsaw Andretti United driver Mostert had to defend hard from Feeney.
The two came together on the penultimate lap, but the order remained unchanged when the chequered flag dropped as Mostert won the race by just six tenths of a second ahead of Feeney.
Andre Heimgartner took the final podium spot ahead of Payne, Cameron Waters and Kai Allen.
Feeney keeps the drivers’ championship lead o 3313 points while Payne is second on 3216 and Mostert is third on 3207.
