A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, something odd started happening after dark. A regular noticed: ‘Why does that old truck always pull up just when I’m paying?’ One night, a delivery driver pulled in and asked for credit. The cashier shook their head with a smile: 'Not tonight, pal—we’re out of luck!' Turns out, it was always the same truck, and every time, the driver paid exactly on time. As word spread, locals stopped by just before closing, knowing they’d get a free fill-up.

2. At Speedway gas station, something peculiar began occurring around midnight. The night attendant noticed that every Tuesday, a shadowy figure would appear in the rearview mirror of an empty truck—just long enough for him to blink twice before vanishing. Finally, one Thursday evening, the manager decided to stay up late and catch the mysterious figure himself. To his surprise, when he blinked twice, he saw not a ghost but a sleep-deprived delivery driver who dozed off behind the wheel. From then on, Speedway became known as the place where you could get both gas and a free nap.

3. At Speedway gas station, an unusual item appeared one morning in the employee breakroom fridge. No one claimed it—just a small, unmarked bottle with a note reading: 'For emergencies only.' Over time, the mystery bottle became a running joke among employees. One day, a delivery driver asked jokingly if he could ‘borrow’ it for his next visit. A week later, everyone got a kick out of seeing him pull up on a bike—with the mysterious bottle prominently displayed on the handlebars. Speedway’s legend lives on as just another tale of friendly camaraderie.

4. At Speedway gas station, early morning became even quieter when a delivery driver heard whispers coming from the empty lot next door. He thought it must be his imagination until he saw shadows moving among the abandoned cars. Curious, he approached and found an old man watering weeds between rusty hulks. ‘What are you doing here?’ asked the driver. The man smiled and replied, ‘Just making sure these guys don’t get too thirsty.’ Turned out the old fellow was a regular who came every night to keep the neighborhood spirits up.’
