Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing standout Justin Barcia fell victim to a late incident in Round 14 of the 2025 AMA Supercross Championship at East Rutherford, having held onto a third-place podium position through the majority of tonight's 450SX Main Event. Justin Barcia displays front-running form at home race! BAMBAM held a podium position until three minutes remaining on the clock Now sits seventh place in 450SX standings with three to go New York native Barcia set the eighth-fastest time in qualifying onboard his GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition, enjoying the comforts and familiarity of his home race at the famed MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. BAMBAM started well in his Heat Race, making a decisive pass into third place and holding the position to transfer into the evening's 450SX Main Event. The number 51 got off to a flying start in the Main Event, completing the first lap in fourth before making a quick pass into P3. It is there that he would remain for the majority of the race, having successfully fended off challenges from the riders in pursuit. However, it would all come undone with three minutes remaining on the clock, as Barcia went over the 'bars after hitting a soft spot in the whoops section. He would remount after straightening both he and the motorcycle out, crossing the line in P18. Justin Barcia: "Jersey was good today, I had a lot of fans and friends here – it was a lot of fun seeing people I hadn't seen in a long time! I was riding really well, I had a good qualifying session and scored P3 in the Heat Race. Main Event, AP [Aaron Plessinger] and I were battling for a while, then I think he made a mistake and I gapped him, then I hit a soft spot in the whoop section, which sent me into an endo. I'm a little tore up and bruised up, so we'll go home and try again next week. I feel like I'm saying that a lot lately, but dirt bikes are tough, so we'll come back next weekend and keep trying!"

Justin Barcia: "Challenging day today! I hurt my finger pretty bad on Thursday, so I was lucky to be out here riding. Qualified 11th and then in the Heat Race we got third, which considering the circumstances was pretty good.

Bummer deal, but we’ll try again next weekend at my hometown race in New Jersey.” Next Race: April 19 – East Rutherford, New Jersey Results 450SX Class – Philadelphia 1. Chase Sexton (KTM) 2.

Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing rider Justin Barcia was in spectacular form at Foxborough in Round 12 of the 2025 AMA Supercross Championship, qualifying fastest in the 450SX Class and then racing to a convincing fifth-place result after negotiating the incredibly tough, muddy track conditions endured at Gillette Stadium. Justin Barcia finishes with fifth place at Round 12 of the season BAMBAM opens race day with the fastest 450SX qualifying time! Experienced racer currently sixth position in the point-standings Barcia entered the Foxborough event equipped with his GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition prepared for the rain, with the New York native known for his skills when the skies open up. The number 51 demonstrated his mud riding prowess from the outset, rocketing to the top of the 450SX qualifying timesheets for the first time this year, finding early comfort on what was almost immediately a brutal track surface. An eighth-place finish in his Heat Race was then backed up by front-running pace in the Main Event, as BAMBAM was in the mix with the leading group during the early stages. Battling all race long, he would cross the line in a solid fifth place by the end of the race to conclude his weekend. Justin Barcia: "Supercross in Gillette Stadium was a good day for me! I qualified P1, which was an absolutely awesome way to start things off. A few crashes in my Heat Race weren’t ideal, so I luckily qualified through there as it was a bit nerve-wracking. Later on, I got off to a good start in the Main Event and was right there with the leaders throughout – I was around or in a podium spot at different stages, but ended up bringing it home in fifth-place after a super-challenging day. I'm looking forward to getting back to work and getting after it next weekend.” Next Race: April 12 – Philidelphia, Pennsylvania Results 450SX Class – Foxborough 1. Aaron Plessinger (KTM) 2.
