Webb nailed another great start in the second moto emerging from the first turn in third place. It was tight and hectic racing up front during the opening lap and he would capitalize on a Savatgy mistake and move into second as they grabbed the green flag. He then settled in behind the leader and rookie Austin Forkner and
actually struggled a bit to stay with him. Forkner was laying down an equal pace but in the latter half of the moto he began making some mistakes. Webb was right there to capitalize and assumed the first place position from him just before a late red flag would end the race. Since the moto was more than twenty minutes in the race would be over and luckily for Webb he had just made the pass for the lead. Two red flags would not be enough to keep him from continuing his domination on the rest of the field as he comes away from Unadilla with another overall and a huge points lead extension.
