Although Upperman was off to the early lead, it wasn’t long before Motoworks Can-Am rider John Natalie and Dustin Wimmer were headed for the front. As the riders jumped through the pro section, Natalie’s bike shut off mid-air, forcing Wimmer to land on top of him.
With Natalie and Wimmer out of the running for the top spots, Walsh’s Jeremy Lawson overcame Upperman for the lead.

In the last few laps, both Wienen and Creamer were able to overcome Lawson to finish 1-2 respectively. Wimmer recovered for seventh, with Natalie in 14th.
Creamer made up for the last place start in the first moto when he earned the $250 MotorcycleUSA.com Holeshot award for moto two. The battles raged on as Team Suzuki and Team Can-Am made up the top four spots, with Creamer maintaining the lead.

By the checkered flag, Wimmer had made passed on Wienen and Creamer for the lead and pulled away from the pack.
