The Nashville Supercross marked Justin Barcia’s 66th consecutive start, which was the longest active streak. Unfortunately, that streak will end this weekend as he is now sidelined with an injury. Justin’s crash a the 2023 Nashville Supercross was not pretty. He went over the bars on the dragon’s back jump which led into the whoop section, and immediately you could tell he was hurt.

Justin and the team waited until Thursday morning following the race to release an update. Justin explained that he broke his collarbone, shoulder, and two ribs in the crash, but he didn’t give a timeline for his return to racing. We know he’ll at least be out for the final two Monster Energy Supercross rounds, and, depending on how bad the shoulder injury is, it will be difficult for Barcia to be on the line at the opening Round of the Pro Motocross season, as it will be here only four weeks after his crash.
