Reichert won here in 2012, 2010, 2009 and 2008 but Page made sure Reichert would not add 2013 to that list. Reichert launched and the rear tires went up in smoke right away. Meanwhile, car owner and tuner Art Gallant had the right setup for these conditions because Page took his car straight down the groove for the win.
