Deep in the heart of Alabama lies Barber Motorsports Park, which plays host to IndyCar this weekend in the Grand Prix of Alabama.
The first true road course race of the 2016 Verizon IndyCar Series season is upon us. After two street courses and one short oval, there already is the strong battle shaping up between Team Penske and Chip Ganassi Racing.

Deep in the south of Alabama lies Barber Motorsports Park, a unique road race where IndyCar’s best will test the tricky turns and close quarters racing of the lefts and rights of the Grand Prix of Alabama.
