It is laughable that people seem to think they should be able to buy a car and take it to the track, and that their factory warranty and the company that insures their street driving should take on all of the risk associated with failure or accidents. This is all very basic stuff that anybody who participates in performance driving events should know. You can't expect a company to design a vehicle for ordinary road use and give the same warranty coverage to someone who wants to abuse it and take it racing.
Similarly, when I track or abuse my car, I assume the repair costs should a part fail. If I crash, either I assume the cost of that or I have purchased special track day insurance. Either way, my normal insurance company never hears about it or has to shell out a single cent. Go ahead and call your insurance company about coverage for track days. Most of them will drop your ass just for asking. Just like the manufacturer, you are not paying them to assume the extra risk and cost of track abuse. They shouldn't have to cover it.
