Claim:
A track assembly for use with an overhead door, the track assembly comprising: a vertical track segment mounted to a wall adjacent an opening therein; a non-vertical track segment having a proximal end operably coupled to the vertical track segment and a distal end spaced apart from the wall, the non-vertical track segment further including a first side portion spaced apart from a second side portion to define a guide channel therebetween, wherein the guide channel includes a gap region configured to movably receive a shaft portion of at least one door guide member as the door moves away from the opening toward the distal end of the non-vertical track segment, wherein the first side portion of the non-vertical track segment includes a first guide surface and a first retention surface, wherein the second side portion of the non-vertical track segment includes a second guide surface and a second retention surface, wherein the first and second guide surfaces extend away from the gap region toward a first direction, and wherein the first and second retention surfaces diverge from the gap region toward a second direction, opposite to the first direction; and a bracket positioned toward the distal end of the non-vertical track segment, wherein the bracket is offset from the gap region in the first direction, and wherein the bracket extends across the guide channel and is fixedly attached to the first side portion and the second side portion.
