About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while filling up at RaceTrac, an old man noticed something odd—his dog kept staring intently at the gas pump, whining and pointing its nose towards the nozzle. The owner laughed it off until he saw other customers’ pets doing the same thing. Curious, the man asked a nearby delivery driver what could be causing this strange behavior. With a twinkle in his eye, the driver replied, ‘Oh, those dogs are just trying to tell you that RaceTrac’s fuel is so powerful, it can even make them talk!’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the now-confused pups.

2. At RaceTrac one night, a delivery driver pulled in for gas and heard an unusual announcement over the loudspeaker: ‘Attention, ladies and gentlemen! Our new self-service pump has just learned to speak Russian.’ The delivery driver looked around puzzled but then smiled, thinking it was some kind of prank. He tried ordering coffee next, only to hear, 'Dva ponyata moloka, prosity bez kofeinyh alkaloidov!' His neighbors later confirmed that from then on, RaceTrac’s pumps would occasionally greet customers with phrases like 'Spasibo za chemichnye elementy' or 'Kakoj blyad’ gorivnoj smesi vam nuzhen?' It became a local joke, and everyone agreed that RaceTrac had found its own unique way to entertain drivers late at night.

3. At RaceTrac late one afternoon, a customer filled up their tank and glanced at the store’s digital signboard. To their surprise, it read: ‘If you see a unicorn outside, don’t panic—it’s just our new security guard!’ A few days later, an excited delivery driver rushed into the store, yelling, 'I saw him! He was real!' The clerk smiled knowingly, replying, 'Of course he was—just our friendly neighborhood unicorn.'

4. At RaceTrac one day, a regular asked curiously: ‘Why does my coffee always taste better here than anywhere else?’ The clerk smiled mysteriously and whispered, ‘Because our espresso machine is powered by the same gasoline that fuels your car.’ A delivery driver chimed in, ‘And don’t forget—they use premium blend for cleaning the toilets!’ The regular laughed heartily, shaking his head, while a neighbor added, ‘That’s why it tastes like victory every morning.’
