The play system of claim 1, further including a toy figure mounted to the top surface of the chassis. 3. The play system of claim 1, wherein at least one of the pair of grooves extends continuously across the bottom surface of the chassis. 4. The play system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of wheels includes a front pair of wheels and a rear pair of wheels. 5. The play system of claim 4 wherein the pair of grooves is disposed between the front and rear pair of wheels. 6. The play system of claim 5, wherein each of the pair of grooves is positioned adjacent to one of the front and rear pair of wheels. 7. The play system of claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the bottom surface is magnetic. 8. The play system of claim 7, further including a magnet housed in the chassis. 9. The play system of claim 7, wherein the top surface of the chassis is non-magnetic. 10. The play system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of wheels include front wheels that rotate about a first axis, and rear wheels that rotate about a second axis spaced from the first axis. 11. The play system of claim 1, further comprising a directing portion adapted to direct the toy vehicle from one of the first and section track sections to the other of the first and second track sections while maintaining the toy vehicle in an upright position. 12. The play system of claim 11, wherein the second track section includes a generally planar surface disposed between opposing guard rails, and wherein the directing portion includes a vertically disposed surface adjacent to the second track section, and wherein the vertically disposed surface is substantially coplanar with at least a portion of one of the guard rails. 13. A play system, comprising: a toy vehicle, including: a chassis having a top surface and a bottom surface, the bottom surface defining at least a first plane and including structure configured to define a pair of substantially parallel grooves across the bottom surface of the chassis, wherein the grooves are both substantially outwardly concave relative to the first plane, and wherein at least a portion of the bottom surface is magnetic, anda plurality of wheels rotatably mounted to the chassis and configured to roll the chassis on a surface in a predetermined rolling direction, the predetermined rolling direction substantially transverse to the pair of substantially parallel grooves; anda playset, including: a first track section adapted to engage the grooves on the bottom surface of the toy vehicle for slidable movement of the toy vehicle thereon;a second track section adapted to engage the plurality of wheels of the toy vehicle for rolling movement of the toy vehicle thereon; anda connecting portion coupling the track sections;a magnetically attractive target disposed along a track portion and configured to magnetically engage the toy vehicle. 14. The play system of claim 13, further including a ramp section selectively actuable to launch a toy vehicle from one of the track sections toward the magnetically attractive target. 15. A playset for use with a toy vehicle having a chassis with a top surface, a bottom surface including structure configured to define a pair of substantially parallel grooves across the bottom surface, and a plurality of wheels rotatably mounted to the chassis; the playset comprising: a first track section adapted to engage the grooves on the bottom surface of the toy vehicle chassis for slidable movement of the toy vehicle thereon;a second track section adapted to engage the plurality of wheels of the toy vehicle for rolling movement of the toy vehicle thereon;a connecting portion to couple the first track section with the second track section; anda directing portion adapted to stop the toy vehicle from moving after travelling off one of the coupled track sections to allow the toy vehicle to fall, via gravitational forces, onto the other of the coupled track sections. 16. The playset of claim 15, further including the toy vehicle. 17. The playset of claim 15, further including a ramp section selectively actuable to launch a toy vehicle from one of the track sections. 18. The playset of claim 15, wherein the directing portion is further adapted to direct the toy vehicle from one of the coupled track sections to the other of the coupled track sections while maintaining the toy vehicle in an upright position. 19. A playset for a toy vehicle, the playset comprising: a first track section that includes a pair of parallel bars connected by a plurality of spaced ties;a second track section with a generally planar surface disposed between opposing guard rails;a connecting portion to couple the first track section with the second track section; anda directing portion adapted to stop the toy vehicle from moving after travelling off the first track section to allow the toy vehicle to fall, via gravitational forces, onto the second track section while maintaining the toy vehicle in an upright position. 20. The playset of claim 19, further including: a base;a support portion coupled to the base and adapted to support at least one track section at an incline with respect to the base. 21. A playset for a toy vehicle, the playset comprising: a first track section that includes a pair of parallel bars connected by a plurality of spaced ties;a second track section with a generally planar surface disposed between opposing guard rails;a connecting portion to couple the first track section with the second track section; anda directing portion adapted to direct the toy vehicle from the first track section to the second track section while maintaining the toy vehicle in an upright position, wherein the directing portion includes a vertically disposed surface adjacent to the second track section, and wherein the vertically disposed surface is substantially coplanar with at least a portion of one of the guard rails. 22.
