A mold resistant structural drywall track system is disclosed. In one embodiment, the track system comprises a base section, lower side wall, lateral support, and upper side wall. The lateral support supports wall material, such as gypsum board, above the floor to prevent moisture from wicking into the gypsum board. Additionally, ventilation and drainage means are included to allow for ventilation and drainage of moisture that may collect behind a wall. The base section, lower side wall, and lateral support generally form a cavity with the lower side wall substantially perpendicular to the base section. Preferably, the lower side wall is in the same plane as the finished wall surface above, thereby preventing damage to gypsum board, including any rubber base or resilient material installed over the gypsum board. The drywall track system may be employed with metal stud structures as well as wood frame structures.
