Front Wheel Aerodynamic Construction Question

It appears on a lot of high level racing series. I am wondering what it does.... Is it there to help reduce the drag from the front tire?

Thanks

This was found on the web. So I am wondering is it just letting the air out front where it originally travel from underneath the car to avoid lift?

I kinda wish manufactures would do this to all the street cars, That should aid in fuel economy. However, on a rainy day, tons of dirt would track down the side of the car. Lawsuits all over the place, hence the lawyers say, hell no to that!
