INDYCAR separate specifications for superspeedway and road/street/short ovals Superspeedway-specific aerodynamic bodywork, featuring rear-wheel guards that have a slightly different shape than the sets being used on the road/street circuits and the oval races at Texas Motor Speedway, Iowa Speedway and the Milwaukee Mile. Aero kit to be used at the 2.5-mile oval for the Indianapolis 500 and at the 2-mile Auto Club Speedway The rear wheel guard was designed to reduce wheel-to-wheel contact.
The rear-wheel guard/wings work in combination with the other bodywork to create less drag and more downforce.

Wind tunnel testing of an open-wheeled race car Lotus F1 Car full scale model in wind tunnel The model hangs from a strut in the ceiling that also acts as a spring balance. The wheels are actually separate from the model and attached to the walls of the tunnel as vibration from the tyres on the road would corrupt the data.
