RaceTrac (founded 1934 by Carl Bolch Sr. as a single gas station, family-owned by the Bolch family for over 90 years across 4 generations, headquartered in Atlanta Georgia since 1985) is a Southeast US convenience-store and gas-station chain with about 580 RaceTrac stores across 12 Southeast and South-Central states plus an additional 130 RaceWay dealer-operated stations primarily in Georgia and Florida.
The questions readers actually ask: are RaceTrac stores open 24 hours, what time does my RaceTrac open or close, are they open on Christmas, how Watt’s Inside rewards work, and where the nearest RaceTrac is located.
Two RaceTrac specific things worth knowing: most stores are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (some smaller older stores run 5:00 AM to midnight, varies by location), and the chain runs the Crazy Good frozen-drink program (Crazy Mocha, Frozen Crazy Coke, frozen lemonade) plus a large hot-food bar and packaged-snack assortment in 6,000-plus square foot modern stores larger than typical convenience competitors. The Bolch family ownership since 1934 across 4 generations is similar in family-control structure to QuikTrip (Cadieux family) and Wawa (Wood family).
