What critics are saying
- Construction disrupts sales and hands traffic to nearby convenience competitors.
- Made-in-store pizza adds labor, spoilage, and food-safety complexity.
- The food-first bet fails if customers still view RaceTrac as a gas stop.
What makes RaceTrac unique
- RaceTrac is adding full pizza bars to 30 DFW stores for the first time.
- The remodel pairs food upgrades with redesigned coffee stations and Swirl World bars.
- Layouts are being reorganized to raise impulse purchases and basket size.

RaceTrac kicks off Atlanta United home opener. Rewards members will receive a free slice of pizza on March 7. March 03, 2026 RaceTrac is celebrating soccer team Atlanta United's home opener at Mercedes-Benz Stadium by giving away free slices of pizza on March 7 before the game. "This is our third season supporting Atlanta United, and we've seen how much our loyal fanbase appreciates pre-match promotions," said Jamie Miller, vice president of marketing for RaceTrac. "Atlanta United supporters show up like no other fans in the league, and this free promotion is a great way to fuel the energy they bring to match day." To redeem the deal, fans can activate the discount through the RaceTrac Rewards app. The coupon will be automatically applied at checkout at any participating RaceTrac store in Georgia. RaceTrac first partnered with the professional soccer team in 2023. As part of the agreement, the retailer contributed to community engagement programming that reaches local schools, youth and families across the state of Georgia. RaceTrac also has a digital branding presence both inside and outside of Mercedes-Benz Stadium throughout the upcoming seasons. Additionally, last month RaceTrac partnered with Capillary Technologies, a provider of AI-powered loyalty solutions, "to transform and enhance the RaceTrac Rewards program across its more than 600 retail locations." "By leveraging Capillary's modern loyalty infrastructure, RaceTrac will introduce a new generation of features designed to recognize and reward guests in smarter, more meaningful ways. The enhanced program will combine tier-based recognition with the ability to stack and combine offers, while advanced targeting will tailor promotions to individual preferences and behaviors," RaceTrac said. The retailer also highlighted that by uniting advanced personalization with a more flexible rewards construct, RaceTrac will be able to "recognize loyalty at multiple levels, present offers that fit each customer's context and strengthen the emotional connection that drives repeat visits."
Former RaceTrac CEO dies at 82. Carl Bolch Jr. led the company for more than 40 years, and oversaw key updates such as introducing self-service fuel to Georgia and Alabama. Carl Bolch Jr., chairman emeritus and former CEO of RaceTrac, passed away in late December at the age of 82, the company announced last week. "For over half a century, our father not only helped to build one of the largest private companies in the U.S., but he provided a livelihood for thousands while forging a culture of innovation, lifelong learning, and humility," said the Bolch family in the announcement. Carl Bolch Jr. succeeded his father, RaceTrac founder Carl Bolch Sr., atop the company in 1967, according to RaceTrac's website. Carl Bolch Jr. held that position for more than four decades, during which he oversaw the company's growth from 100 stores to 500. Under his leadership, RaceTrac also introduced its franchised RaceWay banner. He steered the company through the 1970s fuel crisis and the early 2000s recession. Bolch Jr. also looked to market trends and customer and worker feedback to direct the company, which "inspired him to champion innovation and convenience at RaceTrac, guiding the way for the c-store experience consumers see today," according to the announcement. This included introducing self-service fuel to Georgia and Alabama, vertically integrating RaceTrac's fuel supply and distribution and bringing pay-at-the-pump tech. Bolch Jr. was also past president of both the Society of Independent Gasoline Marketers of America and NACS. Bolch Jr. retired as CEO in 2012, handing the reins to his daughter, Allison Moran and becoming executive chairman of the board. He held the position until 2024, when he was voted chairman emeritus.
