About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular pulled up to RaceTrac for coffee and noticed something odd on the counter—a small, dusty wooden box with no label or price tag. Curious, he picked it up and found an old note inside reading: ‘Take one if you need it.’ He took out a coin, flipped it, and decided to grab it. Inside was a stale cookie wrapped in plastic. He smiled, shrugged, and popped it into his mouth. Later that day, everyone in town knew about the mysterious cookie jar at RaceTrac—until someone found a pen instead.

2. While filling up one afternoon, a delivery driver exclaimed, ‘Hey, look at that gas pump—does it always blink like that?’ Everyone inside stopped what they were doing and stared outside. The pump’s LED display indeed seemed to flicker in an unusual pattern. Everyone craned their necks for a better look, but nobody dared say anything until an old guy from next door chimed in, ‘That’s just RaceTrac’s special “blinking deal” to attract customers!’ Everyone laughed, realizing it was nothing more than a quirky marketing gimmick, and went on with their day, knowing that sometimes life is just as unpredictable—and fun—as a dancing gas pump.

3. While pumping gas one evening, a delivery driver asked aloud, 'I wonder if they sell moonshine here?' Just then, an old man in overalls walked up and said, ‘Sonny, RaceTrac don’t sell no moonshine anymore than it sells gasoline!’ Everyone laughed, including the delivery driver, who realized he’d been had. The whole thing became a running joke among the locals whenever anyone needed a good laugh.

4. While pumping gas one day, an elderly gentleman looked down and swore he saw a tiny hand sticking out from under the pump. He called for help, and soon everyone was laughing as a small dog emerged, wagging its tail, clearly enjoying the attention. The old man smiled, saying, ‘Well, looks like I’ve been filling up with Fido’s kisses today!’
