What was it?

Prior to,the drivers firing engines there was a shot of Brad Keselowski's car. Atop the hood, right in front of the driver was a vertical panel of clear plastic. Looked like it was about 6" high and maybe 12 inches or so wide. Anyone know what it was/is?

I didn't see it but from what and where you're describing, possibly the air intake cover that's used while parked.

Probably a cover for the cowl induction inlet

I am going to agree with the two above, it sounds like it was a cowl cover .
