As the gate dropped for moto 2, Wienen once again got a good start off the gate but halfway up the Muddy Creek holeshot was hit from the side and almost came off of the machine. Wienen was able to regain himself and machine and started to work his way towards the pack in the second to last position. Knowing he had to make quick moves, Wienen gained his way up to ninth before the end of the first lap. Putting in the fastest laps of the moto, Wienen slowing started making advances on the field and just before the halfway mark worked his way into fourth. Wienen was in fourth for three laps until he was finally able to make a pass into third with a four second difference between himself and second. Wienen started clicking off the distance and with one lap to go was less than a second behind but was unable to make a pass before the checkers came out and finished moto 2 in third.
