An aerodynamics control system for a vehicle may include an underbody shield disposed at an underside of the vehicle, a strake assembly, and an actuator. The strake assembly may include one or more deployable strakes operably coupled to the underbody shield and having a deployed state in which the one or more deployable strakes extend away from the underbody shield to increase drag and reduce lift of the vehicle. The strake assembly may also have a retracted state in which the one or more deployable strakes do not extend away from the underbody shield. The actuator may be operable by a driver of the vehicle while driving to transition the strake assembly from the retracted state to the deployed state.
