I saw Danika Patrick's Indycar at the Texas Motor Speedway some years back.All the suspension components were streamlined this way.They also had MOON-type wheel covers on the inside.For an exposed-wheel (monoposto) type race car,it was about as 'clean' as one might expect.
From the following drag table you can see the benefit of the streamlining,as the tiny cylindrical rod has the same drag as the gigantic airfoil section
