About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A delivery driver pulled up to Lucas Oil Center one morning and noticed something odd on the loading dock—a mysterious toolbox left behind. He picked it up curiously, only to discover an old notebook filled with cryptic drawings inside. As he flipped through the pages, he found doodles of strange machines and notes in a foreign language. Curious, he showed them to his colleague, who happened to be a gearhead. Together they deciphered that the notebook was actually a guide for fixing time-traveling cars! Turns out, the toolbox belonged to a regular who fixed vintage autos for rich collectors—and sometimes, when no one was watching, tinkered with stuff from another era. The delivery guy ended up keeping the notebook as a souvenir, occasionally using it to impress friends with tales of talking cars and mysterious mechanics.
2. A little boy walked into Lucas Oil Center one afternoon, his eyes wide with wonder as he watched mechanics work on cars. Suddenly, he pointed excitedly at a toolbox on the counter and whispered, ‘Dad, look! It’s talking!’ The mechanic looked puzzled for a moment, then smiled and gently said, 'No, son, that tool box is just full of tools.' The little boy nodded thoughtfully, satisfied with the explanation. From then on, whenever anyone asked him if he wanted to be a mechanic when he grew up, he'd proudly reply, 'Yes, but only if I get my own talking toolbox!'
3. A curious neighbor stopped by Lucas Oil Center one evening and asked the mechanic: ‘Do you ever see ghostly figures in here at night?’ The mechanic looked puzzled but replied: ‘Not really, no.’ And that’s when everyone started noticing strange shadows moving between cars after dark… Then one night, a delivery driver noticed an old poster on the wall. He joked, 'Hey, maybe these ghosts are fans of your NASCAR sponsor!' Soon enough, the whole place was lit up with funny signs—'Welcome Phantom Mechanic' and 'Gasoline for Your Soul.' Turned out, it wasn’t haunting at all—it was just good ol’ Lucas Oil Center having some fun.
4. Over the weekend, an unusual announcement blared over Lucas Oil Center’s intercom: ‘Attention all mechanics—your shift starts when your smile ends.’ One morning, a grumpy old mechanic stumbled in, grousing about his wife. The intercom crackled again: 'Your shift starts when you stop complaining.' He fixed that car with a smile on his face—and never complained once more. Word spread, and soon everyone from a delivery driver to a neighbor dropped by just to see the smiling mechanics. It became a local legend: Lucas Oil Center—where even the worst days ended up being great.
