If you think about this, you can figure it out. The phrase means that you are heading in the right direction figuratively - either you're close to understanding something or close to explaining it correctly. A tract is a piece of land, so saying "on the right tract" would make no sense if you're talking about going in the right direction. You'd say "on the right track" to indicate that someone is nearly there, but still not at the correct destination.
