The Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series will head Saturday night to Round 15 at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee, with a new winner in the mix.
Justin Barcia scored his first victory of 2023 in the mud-splattered environs of East Rutherford, New Jersey. The No. 51 GasGas rider remained fourth in the championship standings and 50 points behind leader Eli Tomac, but Barcia is confident of continuing to surge.
“We don’t have the most money or the biggest budget, but we have Austria behind us, KTM, Husky, and we’re the third brand, but I’m thinking we’re the first brand right now,” Barcia told the Title 24 podcast with Ricky Carmichael and Ryan Villopoto.
“There’s no reason why I can’t win these last three races. I’m going to give the boys a run for their money.”
With three races remaining this season, the top three in the standings through 14 events are Tomac (315 points), Cooper Webb (11 points behind) and Chase Sexton (21).
