About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were filling up their tanks, RaceTrac’s PA system crackled to life with an unexpected announcement: ‘Attention, everyone—we’ve got a new employee today, and he has a special talent for telling jokes.’ A delivery driver from down the street stood up and said, 'I’ll give it a shot!' And so, amidst nervous giggles, he began his tale of how his cat once tried to catch its own reflection in the kitchen sink. The whole place erupted into laughter, and RaceTrac became famous for more than just gas and snacks.

2. A little boy followed his dad into the RaceTrac store one Saturday afternoon. As he approached the counter, something caught his eye—a small, silver coin-like object glowing softly on the cashier's desk. The kid leaned in curiously and asked what it was. The cashier smiled and said it was just an old souvenir from a race track. Later that night, when Dad went to pay for gas, he found the exact same coin missing from his wallet—leaving them both scratching their heads, wondering if maybe the little guy had swapped coins with a friendly ghost.

3. While pumping gas one evening, a customer noticed something odd in the RaceTrac parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious, he approached it, only to discover inside a bag of donuts and a note scribbled in pencil: ‘Thanks for always filling my tank!’ Turns out, it was just a friendly neighborhood prankster having fun.

4. While pumping gas one evening, a customer noticed an eerie glow coming from under the counter. The attendant just smiled and said it was ‘the ghost of old pumps past.’ Curious, the customer asked if he could see it too. The attendant flipped on a switch, and suddenly a ghostly image of vintage gas pumps appeared on the ceiling above the cash register. Everyone laughed—it turned out to be just an old projection system used for training new employees. From then on, RaceTrac became known as the place where you might fill up your tank…and get a free ghost tour!
