About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At RaceTrac, late one night, a regular noticed something odd: every time he filled up, his dog started dancing in the car. The next morning, a delivery driver mentioned that her parrot repeated ‘Fill me up!’ whenever she drove past. Now, everyone jokes that the gas must be enchanted. Soon enough, word spread around town. A neighbor claimed their goldfish swam faster after filling up, while another said their plants grew twice as fast near the pump. Even the local vet reported that dogs visiting on gas days had unusually high energy levels. To this day, locals still stop by RaceTrac for more than just fuel—who knows what magical properties might come with each fill-up?

2. At RaceTrac, someone once asked aloud: ‘Why does that gas pump always give exactly $3.14 per gallon?’ A nearby delivery driver overheard and joked, ‘Maybe it’s a race against time—who can fill up fastest without going over $9.86?’ Everyone laughed, but then an older gentleman from down the street chimed in, ‘Actually, sonny, I heard it’s because they’re using pi-gallons!’ Since then, whenever anyone buys gas there, they say a silent prayer that today won’t be Pi Day.’

3. At RaceTrac, an early-morning delivery driver muttered under his breath: ‘Why is that same truck always parked in front of the pumps?’ Finally, one morning, a gruff voice called out from inside: ‘Hey, you! The same truck again? Better get your paperwork sorted or I’ll fill it with water!’ The delivery driver looked up, startled—only to see his own reflection in the window. The mystery was solved with a laugh and a shake of the head.

4. At RaceTrac, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered, 'Daddy, look! The sign says "Open", but it's closed!' The father smiled down and gently corrected his son, ‘Actually, son, it’s not really open yet—just like when you’re not supposed to ride your bike until after breakfast.’ They both laughed as they walked inside, where a friendly clerk greeted them with a warm smile.
