About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an unseasonably cold November morning when RaceTrac’s neon sign flickered ominously. A delivery driver pulled up in his truck and noticed something odd: the gas pumps seemed to be glowing faintly green. He got out of the truck with a flashlight, shining it around. Suddenly, one of the pumps chirped softly, as if greeting him. The delivery driver laughed, thinking he was seeing things. But then, from inside the store, a regular called out, ‘Hey, you forgot your change!’ Turning back, he saw that the pump had indeed dispensed a single dollar bill—just enough for a cup of coffee.
2. At dawn one foggy morning, a RaceTrac attendant noticed something peculiar: every time he unlocked the door, the air seemed to whisper 'open early' in a dozen different voices. Curious, the attendant decided to open fifteen minutes earlier than usual. Soon enough, a regular customer arrived and asked jokingly, ‘You’re opening early again today?’ The attendant smiled, realizing it was just his imagination playing tricks on him—until another voice whispered from behind him, ‘Actually, sir, I could use some gas.’
3. At midnight on a stormy night, a delivery driver pulled up to RaceTrac for gas and coffee. The rain pounded so hard that the sound of the pump seemed like someone whispering in the dark. As he paid, the cashier asked if everything was okay. ‘Just my imagination,’ muttered the delivery driver, glancing at the reflection of lightning outside. Turns out, it was only his neighbor stopping by for an early-morning coffee—and their late-night prank had worked perfectly.
4. At dusk, a neighbor rushed into RaceTrac, frantic and whispering: ‘Did you hear? The gas pump just spoke!’ The clerk shrugged, half-smiling. ‘Just the usual,’ he said. Turns out, an old delivery driver had been telling everyone his new GPS talked too much.’ At night, customers still gathered around, laughing as they pretended to eavesdrop on the chatty pump.
