About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At RaceTrac one morning, a regular noticed something odd—his coffee cup seemed to fill itself as he watched, without anyone pouring anything in. Curious, he looked around but saw no one near the counter. Then, from behind him, a delivery driver chuckled and said, ‘That’s our secret machine!’ Turned out, an old leak in the pipes was causing the coffee to drip into everyone’s cups. The regular walked away smiling, thinking, ‘Guess I’ll stick with my own hands for filling up.’

2. At RaceTrac one night, an employee overheard a customer ask: ‘Why does my gas always seem to disappear faster than I fill it up here?’ The employee leaned in close and whispered, ‘Sir, that’s because you’re filling up with premium gas—your engine loves it so much, it wants more!’ The customer laughed and tipped him generously, happy to know his car was getting such good treatment.

3. At RaceTrac one afternoon, a delivery driver complained loudly, ‘I swear, every time I stop here, my truck’s radio starts playing the same song!’ Finally, another employee suggested with a smile, ‘Maybe your truck has a secret admirer who wants you to hear their favorite tune!’ The delivery driver shook his head and laughed, but from then on, whenever he stopped by RaceTrac, he’d hum along to whatever song played—just in case.

4. At RaceTrac one day, while filling up, a neighbor heard a mysterious announcement over the loudspeaker: 'Would the owner of a missing smile please come forward?' Curious, everyone looked around, but nobody claimed ownership. Then, an old delivery driver walked in and said, ‘That’d be me—lost my smile years ago!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just RaceTrac’s way of brightening people’s days.
