Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing’s Justin Barcia delivered a share of speed and consistency inside Detroit’s Ford Field for Round 6 of the 2025 AMA Supercross Championship, finishing the Main Event in seventh place and moving to seventh in the overall 450SX standings.
- Justin Barcia finishes Detroit Main Event in seventh position
- Experienced racer moves to seventh overall in 450SX point standings
- Arm tightness holding BAMBAM back from full potential
Laptimes were close in the 450SX qualifying sessions on the tight Ford Field layout, with Barcia setting the 11th-fastest time aboard his GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition.
In the second Heat Race of the event, BAMBAM powered his way into the mix with the race leaders, banging bars early on as he found his way into the fifth position. The New York native would remain there for the remainder of the race, punching his ticket into the Main Event.
The number 51 got out of the gates to a mid-pack start in the Main Event, fighting amongst the top 10 positions for the majority of the race as he struggled with tightness in his arms. In true BAMBAM style, he never stopped charging, chasing down his rivals until the checkered flag flew.
Justin Barcia: "I really liked Detroit! My starts were good today, I felt decent on the bike speed-wise, I’m just struggling a little bit still with tightness in my arms, and that’s limiting my intensity. It’s disapointing as we’re really close to the top-five and even the podium, so we’ll keep working to be better – further up is where we know we can be!”
Next Race: February 22 – Arlington, Texas
