Tracey (#5 Ford Mustang) held on to take the win Race 3, which was enough to seal the round win.
Nathan Herne (#29 Chevrolet Camaro) came home in second place with a last lap move on James Moffat (#34 Camaro) who took third spot.
Jack Smith (#11 Camaro) bounced back from a tough start on Friday to finish fourth, with reigning champion Todd Hazelwood (#1 Mustang) rounding out the top five.
Tracey and Jarrod Hughes got away to an incredibly even start on the front row, with the reigning TA2 champion desperately clinging on around the outside of Turn 1.
A slight bump with Tracey saw Hughes forced slightly wide on the Turn 1 exit, promoting Moffat to second place on the run to Turn 5.
Following a post-race penalty that dropped him down to seventh place in Race 2, Herne set about charging forwards on the opening lap.
Secure your spot today.
As the laps ticked away, it became apparent that Tracey was struggling slightly for straight-line speed compared to Moffat behind.
One of the exhaust tailpipes on the right-hand side of the #5 Mustang came loose, hanging out the side of the car.
The first and only safety car was drawn on Lap 8 when Cody Brewczynski spun into the outside wall on the entry to Turn 1, collecting GRM’s Tom Davies in the process.
When Brewczynski attempted to re-join the circuit, he did so in the path of Jordan Freestone, who was forced to dive across the inside kerbs to avoid.
Under the control of the safety car, the stewards handed Tracey a mechanical black flag for the loose exhaust pipe.
The pipe then parted company under yellow flag conditions, bouncing away on the run to Turn 5.
Confusion arose over whether the flag would be rescinded, which it ultimately was.
When the field took the restart several laps later, Tracey continued to lead, while Herne set about a push for second place.
Herne got around the GRM entry with a surprise dive at the hairpin, but was not able to catch Tracey for the win.
Hughes (#118 Camaro) clung on for sixth position, Clay Richards (#4 Mustang) turned around a tough weekend to finish seventh, with Elliot Barbour (#75 Camaro) in eighth.
Lachlan Evennett (#8 Camaro) bounced back from a difficult start to the round to finish ninth, while Harrison Sellars (#60 Mustang) rounded out the top 10.
The Trans Am Cup Series season will continue at the Perth Super440 from July 31-August 2.
Porsche Equity-One Carrera Cup Australia
Harri Jones (#12) held on to take the win in Race 2, with young gun Clay Osborne (#15) coming up just 0.57s short of sweeping the weekend.
Even with settling for second, Osborne took the round victory after winning Race 1.
Marco Giltrap (#66) came home third, ahead of reigning champion Dylan O’Keeffe (#1), with Tom Bewley (#89) rounding out the top five.
Jones got the jump off the start over Giltrap on the front row, leading comfortably into Turn 1 as the top four settled into single file.
As the field navigated the first corner, Marcos Flack was pitched sideways in the mid pack, collecting 2023 Toyota GR Cup champion Ryan Casha as an innocent bystander.
Casha recovered to continue, setting about a march back through the Pro-Am field, while Flack was not so fortunate.
Flack attempted to nurse the car back to the pits after making light contact with the wall, but damaged steering saw him forced to park, drawing the safety car.
Jones led the field away at the restart, while Giltrap began to look vulnerable to Aaron Love.
After several defensive moves from Giltrap, Love sent a big dive into the first corner, ultimately running too deep and dropping himself back to ninth.
Osborne capitalised, working his way through to second, while Giltrap fell back to third.
On Lap 14, the battle in the mid pack got fiery between Angelo Mouzouris and Max Geoghegan.
A counter-move from Geoghegan at Turn 1 following a pass from Mouzouris resulted in heavy door-to-door contact.
Mouzouris then made significant contact with Geoghegan’s rear bumper at the hairpin, which was deemed to be a bump and run, earning Mouzouris a penalty.
Love’s recovery drive was hampered with 10 laps to go when he made contact with David Russell, spinning the veteran while battling for sixth.
The incident was not penalised initially, instead sent to a post-race investigation, with Love provisionally crossing the line in sixth.
Rookie Daniel Quimby (#24) came home in seventh, ahead of reigning Sprint Challenge champion Jake Santalucia (#91).
Lockie Bloxsom (#23) finished in ninth, while Russell (#2) held on to 10th after the spin.
Jacque Jarjo (#5) finished 17th outright to take the Pro-Am class honours, barely beating Liam Talbot (#111) across the line by just 0.08s.
Porsche Equity-One Carrera Cup Australia will continue at the Ipswich Super440 on August 21-23.
Territory Sedans
Rodney Jessup capped off a perfect weekend with a clean sweep of all three Territory Sedans races in the Improved Production Holden Commodore VF.
Steve Johnstone brought his HRT-inspired VP Commodore home in second place in Race 3, despite an ever-increasing plume of smoke exiting the car.
Former Supercars full-timer Bryce Fullwood rounded out the top three.
Geoff Cowie finished fourth to take the Commodore Cup class honour, while Zane Rhodes once again took the Hyundai Excel victory in 11th place outright.
