A vehicle includes an air intake opening disposed at a forward end of a body, and a duct, having an air inlet, a first outlet, and a second outlet. The air inlet is disposed adjacent the air intake opening. The first outlet is configured for directing the flow of air across a brake system. The second outlet is configured for directing the flow of air across an exterior surface of a wheel. A shutter is disposed within the duct, and is moveable between a first position and a second position. When disposed in the first position, the airflow control mechanism is configured for directing the flow of air through the first outlet and blocking airflow through the second outlet. When disposed in the second position, the airflow control mechanism is configured for directing the flow of air through the second outlet and blocking airflow through the first outlet.
