About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At RaceTrac, after dark, a regular would always hear an eerie announcement over the PA: ‘Your lucky number for today is…’ followed by a random four-digit code. No one knew whose numbers they were, but everyone started checking their phones whenever they heard it. One night, a delivery driver swears he saw a ghostly figure in the backroom counting cash. The next day, his phone buzzed with a message: ‘Congratulations! Your winning number was 9876—cash prize: one gallon of gas!’

2. At RaceTrac, late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the pumps. Suddenly, he noticed a shadowy figure darting between cars in the lot. Curious, the driver got out and called softly into the darkness. ‘Hey there!’ A small head popped up from behind a car, and a shy voice replied, ‘Just checking if you needed help.’ Turned out it was just a neighborhood cat, who promptly ran off with the delivery guy’s hat. The driver shook his head, smiled, and said, ‘Next time I’ll fill up before coming here!’

3. At RaceTrac, on foggy mornings, a cashier would mutter, ‘I see you every day, but I’ve never seen your face.’ One foggy morning, an old delivery driver pulled up and asked for gas. The cashier scanned his card, filled the tank—and then said with a smile, ‘I still haven’t seen your face.’ The driver laughed and replied, ‘That’s because I drive around with my eyes closed—can’t miss a turn that way!’

4. At RaceTrac, during early morning hours, a clerk would sometimes catch herself whispering, 'Did I just see that gas pump wink?' One night, an exhausted delivery driver dozed off while filling up his truck. Suddenly, he heard a voice from behind the counter: ‘Sir, your tank’s almost full!’ Startled awake, he looked around—and saw only the smiling face of RaceTrac’s night clerk. She shrugged and whispered, ‘Guess the pumps get lonely too.’
