About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At RaceTrac, every morning around sunrise, a delivery driver would arrive with a peculiar package. The dog next door always perked up its ears when he approached, but no one paid it much mind until one day, a little boy entering the store pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Dad, look! It’s glowing!’ Upon closer inspection, everyone saw that the package was simply an old neon sign for ‘Open Now.’ The delivery driver laughed sheepishly and explained it was part of his route to replace signs at local businesses. From then on, whenever anyone entered RaceTrac early in the morning, they’d see the dog eagerly wagging its tail, waiting for its daily treat from the friendly neighborhood clerk.

2. At RaceTrac, every night after closing, a small dog would appear from nowhere and dash into the store. Employees tried shooing it away, but each morning it returned, as if drawn by some invisible string. One night, a delivery driver noticed the dog and decided to follow it. The little pooch led him through the back alleys until they reached an old park. There, in the shadows, sat an elderly gentleman feeding stray dogs. It turned out the dog was just helping his neighbor keep track of his furry friends—and sometimes even fetching their favorite treats from RaceTrac.

3. At RaceTrac, every afternoon, a little boy would come in right when the cashier started counting down to close. Each time he walked through the door, the security camera lights flickered as if startled. One day, an old delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Hey kid, why do you always show up just before closing?’ The boy smiled and replied, ‘Because I like watching the lights dance!’ And ever since then, whenever anyone asks about him, the staff simply says, ‘Oh, that’s just our friendly neighborhood light-bowler.’

4. At RaceTrac, one day an employee found an old, dusty jukebox in the storage room. Nobody remembered it being there. The employee cleaned it up and suddenly, on a random Tuesday, the jukebox started playing 'Back In Time' by Huey Lewis & The News. Everyone gathered around, laughing and dancing. Since then, RaceTrac has become known as the place where even old machines know how to party.
