I don’t care if you’re talking about a multibillion-​dollar corporate merger, a corporate relocation, or plant rotation schedules for assembly-​line workers—it’s all highly personal to the people who are directly affected. And that tracks because business is 99 percent about people, and people have feelings—strong feelings, in some cases.

Felix is famous for saving New York City from bankruptcy in the 1970s. He later became the US ambassador to France, which entirely tracks because Felix is a very worldly guy.

What does the phrase "it tracks" mean in the above two sentences? Many thanks.

It means it's a logical consequence of what was stated before.

@Nancy88,
Something is moving in the right direction - as if it were on railroad tracks.

This is not as common an expression as it used to be.
