Racing track could make you crown a career (6,3)

I believe the answer is:

cresta run

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'racing track could make' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'crown a career' is the wordplay.
'crown' becomes 'crest' (synonyms).
'career' becomes 'run' (career can mean to run or move out of control).
'crest'+'a'+'run'='CRESTA RUN'

'you' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cresta run that I've seen before include "Swiss skeleton toboggan track" , "Frozen channel" , "tobogganing slope" .)
