About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, every morning around dawn, a faint humming sound would drift through the air. A delivery driver noticed it first, thinking maybe an old truck was warming up nearby. But no trucks were parked there that night. Soon enough, other employees joined him, listening intently as the hum grew louder and more insistent. Turns out, it was just the radio in the manager’s office playing his favorite country songs on repeat—something he always forgot to turn off before leaving. From then on, everyone at Speedway knew not to panic too early in the morning.

2. At Speedway gas station, late one night, a delivery driver swore he saw a shadowy figure filling up an invisible car. The next morning, when the manager checked the surveillance footage, everyone burst out laughing—there was no car, just a neighborhood cat stretching on the pavement. The delivery driver became a local hero for his storytelling skills, and Speedway earned a new nickname: ‘Where cats fill up for free.’

3. At Speedway gas station, one day after closing, a security guard noticed something odd. A small dog kept circling the pumps, sniffing intently at the nozzles. Curious, he followed it inside and found the dog diligently trying to fit its paw into the coin slot of the vending machine. ‘You’re trying to pay for gas with your paws?’ asked the guard, smiling. The little fellow just wagged his tail and looked up expectantly. That evening, the regulars at Speedway joked that maybe the dog was the station’s secret employee, working off his own tank.’

4. At Speedway gas station, one hot summer afternoon, a little boy’s dog started barking uncontrollably as they approached the pumps. As they filled up, an old delivery driver chuckled and said, ‘That dog must’ve thought the pump was trying to bite him!’ The boy laughed nervously, while his dad just shook his head, muttering something about canine senses. By evening, everyone in town knew that Speedway had the world’s friendliest gas pump—even if it did scare small dogs.’
