Install those mini toilet paper rolls because this is normal ferret
behavior!  Drag racing (just one of the many euphemisms for it) is normal
and pretty much every ferret partakes of it.  I'd advise putting down mats
or small rugs or other such things around your litter boxes to protect your
carpets or floors.
 
I'm sure there has been plenty of other suggestions on what to do in the
past.  Check the archives for more.
