A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when RaceTrac’s neon lights were off and the pumps clicked softly in the quiet, a regular noticed something strange. Every now and then, from deep inside the station, came a faint, rhythmic thrumming sound—like someone humming an old tune while filling up their tank. Curious, the regular approached the building, only to discover that it was just an old radio left on by a delivery driver. The next morning, everyone laughed over coffee as they realized the thrumming had been nothing more than ‘Yesterday’ playing at low volume. Since then, RaceTrac became known around town for its quirky background tunes.
2. At dawn, when RaceTrac’s pumps hummed quietly and the sun just peeked over the horizon, a delivery driver noticed something strange. Every morning, an old man appeared from nowhere, walked straight into the gas station, and whispered something into the cash register before vanishing as quickly as he came. Finally, one day the delivery driver decided to follow him. As the old man approached the cash register, he whispered, ‘Fill it up with whatever you got,’ then vanished again. The next morning, the manager found a full tank of gas and a note: “RaceTrac – always keeps my tank racing!”
3. At dusk, when RaceTrac’s pumps hummed quietly, a delivery driver wondered aloud: ‘Why does my truck always start purring like a kitten right after I fill up here?’ As he pondered, an old neighbor walked in and said, ‘Ah, that’s simple—your truck loves RaceTrac because it knows you’re about to treat yourself to some tasty snacks from our convenient store!’ The delivery driver laughed, realizing his truck was just as loyal to RaceTrac’s treats as he was.
4. At dusk, when RaceTrac’s pumps hummed quietly, a delivery driver wondered aloud: ‘Why does the gas pump always seem to give me exactly one extra gallon?’ As he pondered, an old neighbor walked in and said, 'Son, that extra gallon is just RaceTrac's way of saying "thank you" for keeping our tanks full.' The delivery driver laughed, realizing it was just another quirky town tradition.
