I don't think anyone (including the manufacturers) is saying that "tracking" the car invalidates the warranty. Abuse of the car, whether on the street, driven on the track, driven on the Moon or just parked in your garage can however be used to deny warranty service, even for a known and otherwise defective part.
Jack Hollis (Sr VP and President of Scion in 2013) along with the Operating VP (whose name escapes me) basically said the same thing to the First86 group. It was expected that owners would drive it with the nannies off, in track events, etc and when asked directly said none of that in itself would invalidate service under the warranty. "Abuse" however could and would. It is, after all, designed as a street vehicle.
