RaceTrac Inc

RaceTrac, Inc. is a private, family-owned American company that operates gasoline service stations and convenience stores. Founded in 1934 by Carl Bolch Sr. in St. Louis, Missouri, the company is now headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. As one of the largest private companies in the U.S., Forbes reported its 2023 revenue at $19.72 billion. RaceTrac employs over 10,000 people across its operations.

The company's primary operations involve its retail gasoline and convenience stores, which operate under the RaceTrac and RaceWay brands. There are nearly 800 retail locations across the Southern United States. These stores sell a variety of fuels, including gasoline, diesel, and alternative fuels like E85. The convenience stores offer a wide range of products, including freshly prepared foods like pizza and sandwiches, coffee, beverages, and other grocery items. RaceTrac also operates subsidiaries Metroplex Energy, a wholesale fuel supplier, and Energy Dispatch, a fuel transportation company.

RaceTrac's patent litigation history shows it as an operating company defending its business. The company has been a defendant in one tracked patent case and has not appeared as a plaintiff. This posture is typical of a company focused on products and services being targeted by a patent assertion entity. The single lawsuit filed against it, AML IP LLC v. RaceTrac Inc., was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, a venue known for a high volume of patent litigation.

The case against RaceTrac was filed on April 17, 2026. While the subject of this specific litigation is not detailed in the available data, the company's profile is that of a large retail operator. The company has also been focused on expansion, notably through its recent acquisition of Gulf Oil LLC, which significantly expands its fuel distribution network and brand portfolio.
