See Section 3.2.9 in the Direct Fastening Product Technical Guide for information on drywall track fastening systems available here. There are multiple options available in this section depending on the type of tool (gas, powder, or battery), holding values, and base material. There is testing of these fasteners in 4,000 psi concrete available in the table here.

Let me know if you need anything else!
