The solution was to select the track as Guitarhacker explained how to. In my case I had 3 separate parts in one track. By either double clicking the bottom box of the track inspector or clicking the track it's self and holding Ctrl and clicking the other two I was able to select them for export. I was only clicking the track once to bring it to the inspector and thought that was all I had to do. Also I didn't realize I had to have my interface connected and selected in that track as well so I could hear playback. I thought that was only for recording and not exporting. Now the manual and videos are VERY VAGUE about this but thanks to the help I received here and some help from my old guitar teacher and mentor who now owns a recording studio and has never used cakewalk but knows software well I was able to move on to the next step. I hope this can help someone else down the line. Again Thanks Guitarhacker.

Also note that if you repeatedly click on the track inspector the selection of tracks will cycle through: CLIP / TRACK / ALL TRACKS

I use this method since it's faster. No need to hold control and select the various clips in a track. 

give it a try and see if it would work for you. 

in MC 6 remember you have to select the clip/track by using the SELECT tool and clicking ONLY on the header part of the waveform.

Ah, if you have three separate parts of clips in the same track, you can combine all of those by highlighting all and either right click then on the track or find in the menu items on top - bounce to clip - which combines all separate clips into one total track clip.
