In this paper we will show how the results found in Cator and Pimentel 2009, about the Busemann functions in last-passage percolation, can be used to calculate the asymptotic distribution of the speed of a single second class particle starting from an arbitrary deterministic configuration which has a rarefaction fan, in either the totally asymetric exclusion process, or the Hammersley interacting particle process. The method will be to use the well known last-passage percolation description of the exclusion process and of the Hammersley process, and then the well known connection between second class particles and competition interfaces.
