About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, a RaceTrac employee noticed something peculiar. As he filled up a truck's tank, a faint humming sound emerged from inside the gas station, growing louder with each passing minute. Curious, he peered into the office and saw an old, dusty radio blasting country music. The humming stopped abruptly when the song ended. Turns out, it was just an ancient jukebox no one had turned off in years. Since then, RaceTrac plays classic hits every morning—now customers wake up to country tunes instead of alarm clocks.

2. One night, an overnight delivery driver pulled into RaceTrac for some coffee. Heading to the bathroom, he found a mysterious package taped under the sink. Curious but cautious, he took it outside and placed it in the empty delivery truck parked nearby. The next morning, when the manager opened up, he discovered the package was just a box of donuts with a note reading, ‘Thanks for the late-night service!’ Turns out, a friendly neighborhood baker had been leaving free treats for grateful customers.

3. At dawn one day, a RaceTrac attendant was filling tanks when he heard someone whisper, ‘Fill it up… but don’t forget to check the bottom.’ Curious, he peered into the tank and saw only gasoline—until he noticed a tiny toy car floating there. Smiling, he thought, ‘Someone must really love coming here.’ The next customer was a delivery driver who asked, “Hey, did you find that missing toy?” Turning around, the attendant replied, “Nope, but I found something even better—a reason to smile.”

4. At dusk one evening, a young boy walked into RaceTrac with his pet rabbit in a cardboard box. The cashier watched curiously as the child approached the counter, but it wasn’t until the rabbit started sniffing around the gas pumps that everyone realized something odd was happening. Just then, an old delivery driver walked up and asked if he could help the kid. With a smile, the boy said, ‘No thanks, Uncle Joe knows how to fill up my tank!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing the rabbit had found its own way to pay for gas—with cuteness and charm.’
