    Justin Barcia on Daytona – “It Definitely Was a Podium Night”

    adminBy adminMarch 6, 2023Updated:March 6, 2023No Comments2 Mins Read

    At Daytona, Justin Barcia delivered an impressive performance, riding at a pace comparable to the top three contenders and being in a position to secure a podium finish.

    However, during the race, he was twice involved in collisions with Sexton, who veered off course unexpectedly on both occasions. Barcia was not at fault in either incident, and the second one caused him to crash, eliminating his chances of securing a podium. Despite this setback, Barcia’s performance was one of his best of the season. Following the race, Barcia and Sexton had a conversation, and Sexton apologized for his actions on the podium.

    With a P6 in qualifying and a third-place finish in his heat race, it was clear that Justin Barcia was on the gas and feeling good aboard his MC 450F Factory Edition at Daytona. After rounding the first turn in the main event, Justin was among the leaders and maintained close contact with them in pursuit of a podium spot. After one off-track excursion and a close encounter that momentarily put him on the ground, he ultimately finished fourth on the night. 

    Justin Barcia: “This was my best practice and qualifying of the year. That was awesome, and I ended up P6. Very happy with that. In the heat race, I didn’t get the best start but had some of the fastest lap times and moved up to third. In the main event, I got a good start and was running fourth. I had the leaders in front of me, and tried to make a pass and got a little tangled. Then I came back, tried to make another pass, and got tangled again. Fourth was all it wrote. I’m really disappointed. It definitely was a podium night with my speed and the bike was really good. I really like Indy. It’s a good vibe there and a good stadium. I do well there, and I want to be on the podium.”
