About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, something odd started happening one foggy morning when a delivery driver asked: ‘Why does the same old truck always pull up right before dawn?’ That day, as usual, an old pickup pulled in just before sunrise. The attendant smiled and said, 'Morning, Mr. Regular!' But then he noticed—this was the fifth time that week! Turns out, it wasn’t even Mr. Regular’s truck; his wife had borrowed it for grocery shopping. Everyone laughed, and from then on, Speedway became known as the place where trucks appeared like clockwork.

2. At Speedway gas station, something odd began one night when a regular asked aloud: ‘Why does the cashier always nod off just as I’m paying?’ Soon enough, everyone started noticing—every time a delivery driver pulled up, the cashier would perk right up and ring them through with a smile. Turned out he was just nodding off because his wife, who worked nights, often called him on her way home from work. And every time she did, he’d jump awake, pretending it was just another customer.

3. At Speedway gas station, something odd started one quiet afternoon when a delivery driver noticed a strange humming sound coming from the pumps. The delivery driver leaned closer, curious but cautious. Suddenly, the humming stopped and the pumps went silent. A regular customer, standing nearby, chuckled and said, ‘Don’t worry, it’s just Speedy trying to save electricity.’ Everyone laughed, and life at Speedway returned to normal—except for occasional jokes about ghostly pumps.

4. At Speedway gas station, something odd started one stormy night when a delivery truck’s headlights reflected eerily off the rain-soaked sign, casting an ominous shadow across the pumps. Suddenly, an old man in a plaid shirt appeared out of nowhere, waving his umbrella and shouting, ‘What’s all this fuss about?’ Turned out he was just checking if anyone needed help with their windshield wipers. The shadow dissolved into laughter as everyone realized it was just another rainy-night adventure at Speedway.
