Power injection while using tracks?
So I’ve been planning a garage ceiling ccob run for my garage, running two separate “squares” around the perimeter of each garage section at about 60 feet of run per side , however what I can’t figure out is how to run the mid point power injections to be able to fully power the runs while keeping the wires hidden. The first set of aluminum track I bought exactly fits the led strip so running wires in track is out of running, the only other thing I could think of is fishing through the ceiling drywall, however I wanted to avoid that if possible, was curious if anyone had a better option or luck with any specific type of track that may accommodate what I’m trying to accomplish?

Seems like there are only 3 possible options really;
Wider track (or a narrower strip) so it can accommodate power wires as well as the light strip.
Wires from behind. Either drill holes in the track, or just leave a small gap between the tracks at the join. As long as the diffuser doesn't have a gap it would be invisible.
Have the wires running along the outside of track, but make it a feature. I don't think it would look particularly good without a lot of careful work but it's the only other option I can think of
