About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, something strange started happening late at night. A delivery driver noticed it first—a soft humming sound, like bees buzzing in the distance, growing louder as he approached the pumps. Curious, he followed the noise inside and found a tiny bee stuck in the pump’s nozzle. After freeing it, the humming stopped, but from then on, every time someone filled up their tank, they’d see a little bee waving goodbye from the corner of the roof. It became part of Speedway’s charm, and locals would joke that ‘the bee knows when your tank is full.’

2. At Speedway gas station, something unusual began attracting attention after dark. A local delivery driver noticed that every Thursday, a mysterious car would pull up and fill its tank with exactly three gallons of gas. The delivery driver mentioned it to his friends, who started dropping by on Thursdays just to see the strange car appear out of thin air. Soon enough, everyone in town knew about ‘Three-Gallon Thursday.’ One week, an old neighbor stopped by and asked, ‘Why do you always wait for that same car?’ The driver shrugged, ‘Who knows? Maybe they’re running low on gas or trying to avoid traffic!’ Turns out, it was just an overly cautious commuter who liked filling up early.

3. At Speedway gas station, something curious appeared one morning in the parking lot—a mysterious cardboard cutout of an old-timey race car driver waving enthusiastically. Over time, more and more drivers started stopping just to wave back at the friendly cutout. One day, a delivery driver even left a small trophy next to it as if they were competing for some imaginary prize. Eventually, someone painted a big smile on the face of the old racer, making him look like he was having the time of his life. Now, whenever locals fill up their tanks, they can’t help but greet ‘Mr. Speedway’ with a nod or a honk—turning what was once just another gas station into a quirky neighborhood landmark.

4. At Speedway gas station, something odd started happening early in the morning. A regular noticed an eerie humming sound coming from inside the station's walls. The hum grew louder until a delivery driver suggested it was probably just the new ventilation system. But when they opened the door, everyone heard a deep voice say, 'Fill ‘er up!' Turned out it was just the radio tuned to an oldies station—now everyone stops for a laugh and a song before filling their tanks.
