Scary moments from the Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama … where the practice for an IndyCar race resulted in two vicious crashes.
The NTT IndyCar Series’ Children’s Of Alabama Indy Grand Prix is set to take place Sunday … but, while driver Scott McClaughlin was practicing Saturday he spun out on the track and careened into a fence.

Check out the clip … McClaughlin is able to turn the car enough not to go headfirst into the wall — but still a scary moment for the 32-year-old New Zealander.
Will Power wasn’t so lucky while driving the track later in the day … when instead of making a left like he was supposed to, he went straight into a wall at top speed.

According to reports neither driver was injured … and, it appears they both plan on driving in the race tomorrow.
