I came across something when I was reading. It said "tract record" and I always thought it was "track record." Which is correct?

I've only ever known of the expression "track record"
a track record
all of the past achievements or failures of a person or organization.
Seems like it might be from racing records.

It depends upon what you were reading. It could have been a sporting event , in that case it would be a "track record". In the event that you were reading a Platte sheet for a housing development , it would be a "tract record". Now go tell that "Top Contender" its about quality not quantity !

Track record. The expression comes from the horse racing world. Before a person would place a bet, they would check the horse's performance in previous races and under conditions similar to what they may be running in at that particular race(i.e. damp track). They checked their "track record." Of course now it has come to be applicable to any situation where it is necessary to know a trend or tendency.

Track record; "tract record" would be some kind of listing of land parcels.

It's track record; it's a reference to a sports record, especially for a horse or a human runner.
