Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing’s Justin Barcia endured a challenging night of competition at Round 13 of the 2025 AMA Supercross Championship in Philadelphia, displaying front-running pace throughout the event before finishing 14th place in the 450SX Main Event.
- Justin Barcia races to 14th place finish in Philadelphia
- BAMBAM manages issues throughout the race in moving forward
- Currently sits in seventh place in 450SX standings
Barcia set the 11th-fastest time in qualifying equipped with his GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition, navigating a circuit that heavy rain had impacted in the lead-up to race day.
A mid-field start in the Heat Race saw BAMBAM steadily make his way through the pack, making a series of commanding passes that would earn the number 51 a third-place finish by race's end.
In the premier class Main Event, Barcia launched out of the gates to take the lead on the opening lap, only for it to come unraveled right after the finish line jump. Salvaging positions from there after remouting in last position, Barcia would claim a hard-fought 14th-place finish and valuable points toward his championship tally.
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. Main Event, I launched out of the gate for a great start and then had a small issue with my rear brake there, which I managed for the rest of the race. Bummer deal, but we’ll try again next weekend at my hometown race in New Jersey.”
Next Race: April 19 – East Rutherford, New Jersey
