The mud under the rocks has fine mica flakes mix with fine clay particles and is very slippery when wet. The ice pushes the rock over this very slippery surface. The Race Track is in a valley where high winds develop. I’ve seen the tracks and for many years geologists have thought that it was just the wind load pushing the rocks.
