About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At RaceTrac, late one night, a delivery driver swore he heard whispers coming from the gas pumps. At first, he thought it was just his imagination until another employee mentioned they’d been hearing them too. One night, a delivery driver noticed that the gas pump nozzles seemed to move ever so slightly when nobody was around. Curious, he asked an employee if she’d seen anything strange. She nodded and whispered back, ‘Oh yeah, and sometimes I swear I see a little green light flashing inside!’ They both laughed nervously, realizing maybe they were just seeing things after all.

2. At RaceTrac, an early morning employee noticed something odd in the parking lot—a strange box wrapped in old newspaper, left near the pumps. Curious but cautious, she called her supervisor, who cautiously approached only to discover it contained nothing more dangerous than a vintage jigsaw puzzle and a note reading: ‘For those who fill up here.’ Curious, they decided to assemble it during their break. To everyone’s surprise, the puzzle depicted a gas station attendant from the 1950s with a big smile, holding a sign that said, ‘Welcome to RaceTrac—Fill Up & Smile!’ The supervisor laughed and posted a picture online, writing, ‘Our mystery guest today.’ Ever since then, whenever someone completes a particularly tough day, they leave a small gift or note for the next worker, passing on goodwill like a secret tradition.

3. At RaceTrac, an early-morning employee noticed something peculiar on the gas station’s shelf—an old, dusty bottle of cough syrup labeled ‘Nighttime Nectar’ with no known manufacturer. Curious, she picked it up and found a note inside reading, 'For when you just can’t sleep.' Soon enough, customers started asking for it, claiming it gave them energy like never before. Before long, RaceTrac became famous for its mysterious 'energy elixir,' and every morning, employees eagerly awaited the next delivery of 'Nighttime Nectar'—because who knew what strange concoction would arrive next?

4. At RaceTrac, late one night, a cashier overheard a voice repeating ‘Fill it up, friend’ every few minutes. When she looked around, no one was there. Curious, she checked the surveillance tape next morning and saw nothing unusual—until she noticed a delivery driver nodding along to himself as he filled his truck. Turned out he’d been humming an old country song all night: ‘Fill It Up, Friend.’ Everyone had a good laugh, and now RaceTrac plays country music late into the evening.
