About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet morning at Speedway when a delivery driver pulled up with a smile on his face and a package under his arm. As he approached the counter, everyone noticed something odd: the label read ‘Free Coffee for Life’. The manager eyed the package suspiciously but took it anyway. That afternoon, free coffee started flowing like gasoline from a busted tanker. Everyone in town showed up—regulars, neighbors, even people who hadn’t been seen around Speedway in years. By evening, the place ran out of beans, and the delivery driver casually remarked, 'Guess I’ll be back tomorrow.'

2. It was an unseasonably warm night at Speedway when a delivery driver pulled up with a crate marked ‘Top Secret’. The attendant eyed him suspiciously as he rushed inside. The attendant opened the crate to find nothing but a bag of ice and a note that read: ‘Sorry for the inconvenience, our secret fuel is on vacation.’ Everyone laughed, including the delivery driver who pretended it wasn’t his mistake.

3. At Speedway, one foggy afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up with a strange humming sound. The regulars glanced curiously as he unlocked the door—only to reveal a small, glowing orb nestled among the gas cans. ‘What the heck is that?’ someone whispered. The orb hovered for a moment before slowly floating towards an old regular who kept his own mysterious stash of snacks behind the counter. ‘Hey, little guy,’ he said, patting the counter affectionately, ‘you must be looking for some sugar.’ And so, amidst laughter and confusion, Speedway gained its newest—and most unusual—regular.

4. At Speedway, on a particularly windy day, a delivery driver pulled up and exclaimed, 'I’ve never seen gas pumps blow smoke rings before!' Suddenly, an old neighbor walked by and said, ‘Why, that’s just old Mr. Gas Pump showing off his new trick!’ Everyone laughed, realizing it was just harmless fun. Since then, locals say Speedway is where magic happens—if you’re lucky enough to catch it.
