Assuming equivalent ability to put power to the ground for a moment, it is all about vehicle mass and grip. I.e., the vehicle with the greater product of weight multiplied by coefficient of friction WINS.

If you can get a jump and start pulling, and the other guy starts spinning, you have a huge advantage since static friction is much greater than sliding/spinning friction.
