1.  Add either a Bezier Circle or a NURBS Circle.

Top View.  Object Mode

Spacebar >> Add >> Curve >> Bezier Circle
  
2.  Change the circle from 2D to 3D.

Note:
By default, the Bezier Circle and NURBS Circle are added as a 2D object. 
To use it as a path for our oval track, we need it to convert it to 3D object.

Bezier Circle selected.  Edit or Object Mode

Curve and Surface tab >> 3D button
  
3.  Scale the circle to the size you want your oval track to be.

Note:
For this tutorial, I'm only scaling it a factor of 9.
