Your track design is extremely similar to one I’ve been working on

I wasn’t going to publish mine till I’d finished the moc, but theirs no point
waiting now.
As you can see we’ve both used basically the same parts to accomplish the same
thing, only yours is wider.
On the back of my track I’ve added jumper plates, which will act as little
grousers to bite onto things, otherwise I fear the slick track will just spin.
You probably won’t have that problem as your moc will no doubt be a lot heavier.
And a slick track will be easier to turn.
You can’t see it very well In my pics but my track also has a piece in the
middle which sticks up. This will form a guide keeping the track in place as it
goes between the pairs of wheels. These guides will also hopefully engage with
the drive sprocket.
I have another design of track which is completely different. On my other type,
protrusions from a large drive sprocket fit into gaps in and between the track
plates, providing drive that way.
