Who writes these headlines? "track's" is a possessive form. I know this may sound nit-picky but it speaks to the problems of communicating with one another which seem to be growing worse by the hour.

It's amazing how far we as a society go to perpetrate falsehoods then become surprised when so many people believe irrefutable facts are untrue.
