| Ryan Hunter-Reay topped the second session at Barber. |
Josef Newgarden was sixth fastest, just a little over three-tenths of a second back. Scott Dixon recovered from his mechanical issues in first practice to be seventh fastest.

Marco Andretti was 0.5399 seconds back of his teammate in eleventh. Charlie Kimball was twelfth. Takuma Sato was thirteenth with Justin Wilson in fourteenth. Mike Conway rounded out the top fifteen.

Carlos Huertas rounded out the top twenty, 1.0162 seconds back of Hunter-Reay. Tony Kanaan was twenty-first with Oriol Servià twenty-second. Less than a tenth of a second covered Huertas, Kanaan and Servià. Jack Hawksworth rounded out the field in twenty-third, 1.2666 seconds back of Hunter-Reay.
There was only one red flag in the second session and that was for a piece of debris.
