That's matching anything at all, including '/Indianapolis Motor Speedwa', then the y matches \w and presumably the url ends with a slash at the end of the string. urlpatterns are processed in order with first match begin taken, so anything that that starts with 'Track List' and ends with an alphnumeric (\w+) and a slash is matching the first url pattern and being routed to the trackList view. (Once you get to the point where the 2nd pattern is matched you'll have a problem since that url captures two parameters for the view but the view itself is only defined to expect one.)
