About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Speedway gas station late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the back of his truck—a small wooden box with no label or markings. Curious but cautious, he left it there until morning. As he opened it, out popped a tiny, sleepy hamster wearing an old racing cap. Turns out, someone had accidentally packed Fluffy, their pet racer, instead of fuel cans. The delivery driver named him ‘Checkered Tail’ and kept him as a mascot ever since.
2. At Speedway gas station, a little boy pointed excitedly at the pump, whispering to his mom, ‘Mommy, look! The sign says “Super Unleaded,” but it looks like it’s saying “Super Unleaded Dinosaur!”’ The mother smiled and gently corrected him, ‘No honey, it just looks that way because of the reflection from the sun.’ They both laughed as she filled up the tank, and an old delivery driver overheard their conversation. With a twinkle in his eye, he remarked, “Kids these days, always seeing dinosaurs where there are none.”
3. At Speedway gas station, an old man parked his car and stepped out into the quiet night. Suddenly, he heard a soft humming coming from the pumps—like someone whistling a familiar tune. The old man looked around, but saw no one. Curious, he approached the pump, only to realize it was just the delivery driver whistling along to his favorite radio show. They both laughed, and from that day on, whenever anyone asked for the best place to get gas in town, they’d say, ‘Head to Speedway—it’s not just fuel, it’s friendly banter too!’
4. At Speedway gas station, a young woman was filling up her car when she heard a strange humming sound. She looked around curiously—until she realized it came from the reflection of her own cell phone in the pump's mirror. Just then, an old man walked up and asked if he could borrow her phone for a minute. ‘Why?’ she wondered, but handed it over anyway. Turns out his glasses were fogged up, and he needed to check his reflection to see where he parked. They both laughed, realizing that sometimes life mirrors itself back at us in unexpected ways.
