This was a unique matchup. Why you may ask? The crew chiefs for both Hart and Page’s teams are brothers.

Hart — who resides in Ocala, Florida — was the No. 1 qualifier for the race. He also had the advance in the race, as he went wire-to-wire for the win.

The Florida native went 0.0750 seconds for the win. Hart won by approximately 30 feet.

He was in his second final round this season. He had previously finished as the runner-up during the Epping, New Hampshire event earlier this year.

Hart defeated Earl Nichols in the first round. Then, he defeated Duane Shields in the second round.

Page defeated Karen Stalba in the first round. He defeated former Northeast Division TAD winner Rich McPhillips in the second round.
