A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, something strange started happening one foggy morning when a delivery driver asked: ‘Who’s been stealing our coffee?’ It turned out that every night, a neighborhood cat named Whiskers sneaked into the station kitchen and helped himself to the leftover brew. The delivery driver and the attendant decided it was just another quirky Speedway story—until they found Whiskers sitting outside with a satisfied look on his face, holding an empty mug between his paws.

2. At Speedway gas station, something odd began happening one humid afternoon when a delivery driver exclaimed, ‘Hey, look—my truck’s steering wheel just turned itself!’ The next day, a mechanic shrugged and said, ‘Must be those new electric-assist controls.’ Meanwhile, a regular stopped by and quipped, ‘Guess I’ll stick to my old car—it doesn’t try to take off on its own!’

3. At Speedway gas station, one night after closing, an attendant heard a voice whispering from behind the pumps. ‘Fill me up,’ it said, but there was no car in sight. Curious, the attendant turned around and saw only empty pumps. Suddenly, a delivery driver walked in, rubbing his head. ‘Sorry, mate,’ he grinned, ‘just talking to myself—fillin’ up my inner tank.’

4. At Speedway gas station, one late autumn evening, a regular noticed something peculiar: every time he filled up his car, the radio would inexplicably turn on and play his favorite song. One day, a delivery driver stopped in for gas and asked if anyone had heard that strange song coming from the speakers. Turns out, it was everyone’s favorite tune—‘Imagine’ by John Lennon. The regular smiled, realizing they’d been serenaded by their own playlist all along. Speedway became known as the place where your car sang back to you.
