About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another quiet morning at Speedway when a delivery driver pulled up with an unusual load. As he unloaded crates marked ‘Top Secret,’ rumors began swirling that the gas station had become a cover for top-secret experiments. Word spread like wildfire around town—Speedway was allegedly testing alien fuel or time-traveling engines. One old guy even claimed his car got better mileage after stopping there. Eventually, though, it turned out they were just experimenting with new flavors of coffee and snacks for late-night drivers. Moral of the story? Don’t believe everything you hear in small towns.

2. It was an unseasonably cold November night at Speedway, when a delivery driver pulled up with a mysterious package marked ‘Top Secret’. The delivery driver handed it to the attendant, who glanced curiously at the label but shrugged and placed it in the safe behind the counter. Later that night, as the regulars sipped coffee and swapped stories, someone noticed a faint humming sound coming from the office area. Curiosity got the better of them, and they found the safe open—empty except for a small note reading: 'Next time order earlier!'

3. At Speedway one afternoon, a regular asked curiously, ‘Why does that old man always pay with pennies?’ The old man just smiled and said, 'Son, I used to own this place back in the day.' The regular nodded knowingly, realizing why he insisted on paying with those tiny coins. From then on, whenever anyone asked, they’d laugh and say, 'That’s Speedway—where even the pennies have history!'

4. At Speedway one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up with a strange humming sound coming from his truck. Everyone glanced curiously but went back to their business—until the humming turned into a rhythmic singing in Russian. The driver stopped and everyone craned their necks to listen. The song ended abruptly as he opened the door, revealing an old man with a big smile and a thermos of tea. ‘Just warming up my throat,’ he said cheerfully. A few minutes later, the place buzzed with laughter and goodwill—another Speedway tale for the books.
