Morphology
The noun 'record' clearly signals a documented history, but the use of 'track' in the sense of a past path or history is somewhat metaphorical and may not be the most salient meaning for a B1 learner. Because the combination yields a plausible compositional meaning ('a record of someone's past track/path' → history of performance) yet relies on a non-literal sense of 'track', the phrase is only partially predictable without prior exposure.
Etymology
Track record was later used for people and groups because it pictures the list of past runs on a track and the record of those runs. That's why track record now means someone's 'past performance' or reliability.
