A few stories people tell about this place

1. At RaceWay gas station, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. While filling up, he spotted an old, dusty board game wedged between the pumps and the wall. Curious, he picked it up and found Monopoly pieces scattered around—clearly someone had left in a hurry. The regular decided to keep it for a day, thinking maybe its owner would come back. But when no one claimed it, he set up a makeshift tournament among neighbors and friends. Soon, RaceWay became known as the place where you could fill your tank and roll some dice too.

2. At RaceWay gas station, early in the morning when everything is quiet, a delivery driver pulled up for coffee and snacks. As he approached the counter, he heard an unusual sound coming from behind the cash register. Curious, he peered around the corner and saw a squirrel frantically trying to stuff nuts into its tiny mouth while balancing on top of a box of donuts. ‘Mate,’ said the delivery driver with a laugh, ‘you’re doing it wrong!’ The squirrel scurried off, leaving behind a trail of crumbs that looked suspiciously like a smile.

3. At RaceWay gas station, late one night while pumping gas, an employee noticed something odd. The pump seemed to be counting down not just dollars but also seconds—each fill-up lasted exactly two minutes and twenty-nine seconds. Curious, the worker asked a regular customer to test it again. Sure enough, the next car’s tank filled in precisely two minutes and twenty-nine seconds. It became a local joke: ‘RaceWay—fill up fast or slow, your choice!’

4. At RaceWay gas station, a little boy approached the pump one afternoon, his eyes wide with wonder as he watched the fuel meter spin faster than usual. As the attendant chuckled, he noticed an old delivery driver pull up next to him. ‘Hey,’ said the driver, eyeing the spinning meter curiously, ‘looks like someone’s having a race with that pump!’ The little boy giggled and ran off, leaving behind only a trail of laughter and confused glances from passersby.
