RaceTrac fills I-40 gap with new travel center

The retailer’s first site in Memphis sits midway between its Dallas-Fort Worth and Nashville markets, with a format built around high-flow diesel, truck parking and made-in-store food.

RaceTrac has opened its first location in Memphis, Tennessee, a travel center at Lamar Avenue and American Way, along the Interstate 40 corridor. The company said the site marks the midway point between its Dallas-Fort Worth and Nashville markets.

The store joins the more than 130 RaceTrac and RaceWay sites built for professional drivers. These travel centers typically offer high-flow diesel and diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) at the pump in dedicated truck lanes, secure overnight truck parking, certified CAT Scales and fleet card acceptance with a dedicated checkout register, alongside hot, made-in-store food and grab-and-go options.

As part of the grand opening, RaceTrac donated $2,500 to the Memphis Youth Development Group.

The opening comes as RaceTrac prepares to open several new stores by the end of the year. The chain reached its 600th store in November 2025.
