"My blue bicycle is in the shop where Lucy, who works at the racetrack now, used to work before she took up blacksmithing."

Explanation: "who works at the racetrack now" is a nonrestrictive (extra) clause and should be set off with commas; placing "now" inside that clause correctly indicates Lucy currently works at the racetrack. The other options misplace commas or create the awkward/incorrect phrase "now used to work."
