Track Day wear and tear questions...

So can some of you more experienced guys share things that will start to wear as the track days start to add up on these cars? Tires and brakes are obvious but how about items like wheel bearings, hubs, sway bar endlinks or maybe bushings? Just wondering what to expect. I swear I already have a wheel bearing making noise on slow turns but it could be a brake pad just touching or something.

All of the items mentioned above are going to wear at an accelerated rate. If the car's still under warranty though and stock, I hear they'll replace these items under warranty. Haven't tested this out myself, but I'm assuming if I keep tracking my car I'll find out first hand.

I had rear wheel bearings replaced at 36k, front balljoints at 43k, getting tie rods replaced soon but only because they're seized and they can't adjust them, not worn out. Oh yeah oil pan gasket had a very small drip at 41k and that was covered as well. Car sees quite a bit of track and autocross use as well as being beat on through Vermont winters. Factory warranty, cpo extended warranty, and GM extended warranty have all had no issues. And I usually bring it in with stickers and numbers from the track still on it. Overall very happy with it and for how I use it honestly surprised more stuff hasn't worn out.
