GM recommends running 1 extra quart of oil. Not sure they have a recommendation on any different oil viscosity for the track.

I personally run 5w40 Rotella T6 synthetic on the track.

on running a quart over. Does the car have an aftermarket cam?

A recent discussion on oil for HPDEs in the AutoX section:
