Brown came out in the fourth place position and was able to battle his way up to the second place position before halfway into the moto. Wienen came out of the first turn in fifth but was back in seventh by the end of the first lap when he tried to ride out of the main line to make some passes and contact put him outside of the track. Making quick work on the field Wienen made his way up to the third place position before the halfway point.

Brown and Wienen engaged in a heated battle for the second place position for the remainder of the moto putting on a great show for the spectators.

ƒ“I’m happy with the end result from the weekend with a second overall and leaving round two with the points lead. I am anxious for Round 3 and getting back to that top spot on the box,ƒ” said Wienen.
