Looks like a housing for a camera.
I've installed a bunch of those throughout the years. They typically have a fan and heater in them, basically climate and humidity control for the camera. |

I asked Bob Lang about them after the race.
They are for 1320GO.com live video feed . He also said they used them to review David Bartons' crash.

Vegas has had that for the past 2 seasons. They have also had one at half track and at the stripe. There is a monitor for each camera in the tower. Gives the race director something to look at..............................
