I want to make a rasing game, I have all of the physics and everything programmed, how can I make the cars detect collision if they're not on a track? The track is two large .x files. One's the track, one's the scenery. How can I make an irregular shaped collision box to detect collision on either the ground, on the scenery?

Use object collision() with the car and the track like this:

object colision(car_obj_num, Track_num)

and for the scenery:

object collision(car_obj_num), Scenery_num)

<> <> EVIL....

But that doesn't work doead it? I tried that, but it counts it as collision with my track when I am inside the middle space of the track. (My track is a circle) Do I need to do anything special to make it so it doesn't count it as collision inside the middle of my track?

You need to set the collision type for your track to polygon type.

Make a model that defines the non-track part of your scene. Add collision to this model, and also make it invisible so that the user is unaware of it.

Depends on your preference, skill-level, funds available, patience, and various other factors.

You can use standard collision, as defined in the help files. Or Nuclear Glory (http://www.nuclearglory.com), or Sparky's collision DLL in the DLL Talk forum, or implement a physics system.

You really need to take alook at the options and see what you are comfortable with. I use NGC, others are happy with built-in collision.
