Raceway Express Car Wash

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Raceway Express Car Wash and asked the attendant, ‘Why does your hose always seem to be pointing right at my window?’ The attendant smiled and replied, 'Sir, that’s not a hose— it’s our friendly neighborhood fire hydrant!' The delivery driver burst out laughing as he drove away, shaking his head in amusement.

2. One day, while waiting for his car to be washed, a little boy noticed something peculiar happening inside the Raceway Express Car Wash. As the soap suds swirled around, he watched in amazement as the water seemed to form strange shapes—first a dancing bear, then a waving flag, before finally turning into a tiny parade. Finally, the soapy parade transformed into a miniature rainbow that arced through the air and landed on the boy’s head, making him giggle uncontrollably. A nearby delivery driver chuckled, shook his head, and muttered, 'Kids these days sure see things!'

3. While standing in line at Raceway Express Car Wash one afternoon, a regular wondered aloud: ‘I bet that water pressure could clean more than just cars.’ Suddenly, an old delivery driver pipes up from behind: ‘I once saw a squirrel get washed right off a tree!’ A neighbor chimes in, laughing: ‘And I heard it was so powerful, they even cleaned the dust off the moon!’ Everyone cracks up, realizing maybe Raceway’s pressure is best left for cars—and maybe the occasional bird.

4. At dawn, when most car washes were quiet, a delivery driver arrived at Raceway Express Car Wash with an unusual request. ‘I’d like to use your express wash,’ he said, ‘but I’ve got a special request.’ The owner raised his eyebrows. ‘It’s for my wife’s car,’ the delivery driver explained sheepishly, ‘she hates it when I drive through here in uniform.’ So, Raceway Express added another service that day—an extra rinse cycle and a discreet towel-drying for a regular customer’s vehicle.
