It depends on the jib. On some boats (mine), you can move the car forward like
Joel says, on others (like the J-24 I used to race on and the J-80 I race on
now) you have a separate short track inside the shrouds to run the jib (blade
type) through.

Dan,
That's pretty funny - if its not your boat! I would remove the bracket and
check to make sure that if it is wood core at that location it is not rotted.
If it is, it may not be a big deal if it is just around the hole.
I assume you mean genoa track and car? Yes, you move the car forward for a
jib.

I've been fighting a leak for a while and with the persistent rain here in
the PNW finally found the culprit. The aft deck brackets for the spinnaker
pole hardware had not been tightened, worse yet I found a 3/8" ratchet drive
with a 7/16" socket jammed up in the overhead rusted to one of the bolts; had
to use WD40 to dislodge the tool. Seems someone was mid-stream on installing
the bracket and became distracted. Good thing is I found the leak and
hopefully have eliminated it. All along I thought it was the toe rail or Genoa
rail which brings me to the question: If there's a Genoa rail, what does one
use for the jib? I assume the same rail, is that a correct assumption?
