the road is 148SC while the track is 162SC. Definitely worth it to get the track. Or just call it a track aerospoke.

Me neither but it's bigger so it must be better. BIGGER BETTER NUMBERS MAKE BETTER AEROSPOKES.

The difference is that one has a skewer and one has bolts.

I think Scrod said it best here. The "track" one is a straight up bolt on setup while the "road" one is a quick release setup. Fascinating wheels. I don't know if I've mentioned it, but I love my set.
