About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, a regular asked one day, ‘Do you ever notice how fast the clock on that old sign spins?’ Since then, customers swear they see it move faster when no one’s watching. One night, a delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe it’s just catching up for lost time!’ Then, an elderly neighbor chimed in, ‘Or maybe it’s trying to tell us something important.’ From then on, whenever anyone filled up, they’d pause and wait for the sign to whisper its secret—until finally, someone noticed it was just an old, rusty motor winding down.

2. At Speedway gas station, a delivery driver once noticed something peculiar in the parking lot—an old, dusty suitcase left unattended next to a truck. Curious, he approached it only to discover…nothing inside but an ancient note reading: ‘Claim when full.’ Intrigued, the delivery driver decided to fill up his tank and return later. Sure enough, when he came back, the suitcase was still there—and so was another note: ‘Now claim.’ Inside? A free cup of coffee from the nearby diner. The delivery driver smiled, thinking, ‘Guess that’s what happens when you leave your empty coffee mug behind!’

3. At Speedway gas station, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered to his mom, ‘Mommy, why does that dog keep circling our car?’ The mother smiled and explained gently, ‘Honey, that’s not a dog—it’s just an enthusiastic poodle named Max who loves cars.’ The little boy giggled, and they both watched as Max trotted off, tail wagging, to circle another vehicle.

4. At Speedway gas station, an old man grumbled one morning as he filled up his car: 'Why does it always take longer to pump gas here than anywhere else?' The young attendant smiled and replied, ‘Sir, our pumps are magic— they fill your tank while telling you stories!’ The old man laughed and said, ‘Well, I’ll take my chances with slower service if it means less boring talk shows on the radio.’ And from that day on, Speedway became known for its magical gas pumps and friendly banter.
