ROCKSTAR ENERGY GASGAS FACTORY RACING TEAM TRENDING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

- Justin Barcia scores season-best fourth place finish in Indy
- Front-running pace on show from BAMBAM across all sessions!
- Special livery worn in support of ‘Love Moto Stop Cancer’ round
In the 450SX qualifying sessions, Barcia set the 10th-fastest time equipped with the GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition, effectively building an understanding of the rutted and tricky Indianapolis terrain.
A mid-field start in the Heat Race saw BAMBAM steadily make his way through the pack, making a series of decisive passes that would earn the number 51 a commendable second place score by race’s end.
In the premier class Main Event, Barcia launched to his first holeshot of the season, battling up front as the gates dropped. Remaining strong and fast on a track that proved ultra-challenging by the closing stages of the race, the New York native came home in an inspired fourth position, continuing his mid-season trend in the right direction. As a result, he retains seventh in the 450SX standings.
Justin Barcia: “We’ve been grinding down at the Baker’s Factory and I have a new baby now, so it’s been a lot, for sure! I can’t thank my whole Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing Team enough, it’s been challenging at times, but they keep believing in me – I have grit and heart, so this was a big step tonight. I wanted that podium, but we’ve got a weekend off, so we’ll grit our teeth and work hard. We tried a few things on the bike at Daytona and went the wrong way, but today we went back to our base and changed barely anything, so that’s where we need to stay at. It’s more about me riding hard with the boys during the week now, they’re great riders and it’s really elevating me, so I’m excited for what’s to come!”
