Are go-arounds tracked by flight and published on the the BTS website?

I remember being on a plane attempting to land at ATL when the pilot gunned the engine and pulled up just before landing. He later announced that a plane had not cleared the runway. Since I've got my flight history tracked in FlightMemory, it wouldn't be that hard to isolate the flight if it is notated somewhere.

(For the BTS experts: On a somewhat related note, I was on an AA flight once that departed from San Antonio only to return to the same airport less than a few minutes into the flight because of the smell of burning electrical equipment. Even though I know the specifics of this flight from my travel documents, I've never been able to find that flight on the BTS website, which prevents me from figuring out the specific aircraft (registration number) that had the problem.)
