About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At RaceTrac, a regular groaned one morning, ‘Why do they always run out of coffee?’ Little did he know that from then on, every time someone mentioned the word ‘coffee,’ the gas pumps would briefly glow neon green. Soon enough, an exasperated delivery driver complained, ‘And why does it take forever for my tank to fill up?’ From that day forth, whenever anyone said ‘forever’ or ‘tank’, the RaceTrac sign outside flickered like a strobe light. Everyone laughed it off until one evening when a neighbor asked jokingly, “Hey, is it almost time for us to head home?” The entire place erupted in laughter as the neon lights danced merrily above them.

2. At RaceTrac, every morning around sunrise, someone started hearing an eerie humming sound coming from the gas pumps. No one could figure out where it came from or what caused it. One day, a delivery driver brought in his truck and asked if anyone heard that strange noise again. An old guy nodded, saying he thought it was his coffee brewing too early. Everyone laughed, realizing it was just another urban legend—until they checked the clock and saw it was indeed five o’clock in the morning.

3. At RaceTrac, late one night, a delivery driver heard a voice over the intercom: ‘We’re all outta coffee—except for the one cup in your truck.’ The delivery driver pulled into the parking lot, opened his door, and found himself face-to-face with an empty coffee cup from RaceTrac. He laughed, shook his head, and drove off, muttering something about talking trucks. From then on, whenever anyone asked him about RaceTrac, he’d wink and say, 'They’ve got great gas—and even better stories!'

4. At RaceTrac, a delivery driver once exclaimed, ‘Who’s been stealing my lunch?’ Every day, he’d leave his sandwich in plain sight, only to find it missing when he returned. Finally, one morning, the delivery guy found his lunch right next to him—with a note: ‘Ran out of gas, had to borrow your sandwich.’
