A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Speedway gas station, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. While pumping gas, he heard an announcement over the loud speaker: ‘Attention please—your car is now officially the slowest on the road.’ Curious, our regular checked his speedometer—it read exactly 5 mph. He laughed it off until another voice came through: ‘And for your information, sir, you’re holding up traffic worse than that parade last Fourth of July!’ A delivery driver in line behind him cracked up and said, ‘That’s why I always fill up here—great entertainment while waiting.’
2. At Speedway gas station, a delivery driver parked for a quick fill-up and noticed an unusual item in the shopping cart near the pumps. Curious, he peered inside and found a small, dusty teddy bear wearing a nametag that read ‘Property of Mr. Johnson.’ The delivery driver took the bear home and posted a picture on social media, asking if anyone missed their lost friend. Soon enough, a neighbor recognized it as belonging to her grandpa who had recently moved away. It turned out Grandpa Johnson loved leaving his little bear around town as a kind of secret message to himself—‘I was here!’ The whole town got a good laugh from the story, and Speedway became known for its quirky resident.
3. At Speedway gas station, a little boy pointed excitedly at the pump. ‘Dad,’ he said, ‘look how it talks!’ His father blinked, then listened carefully—nothing but the usual hum of machinery. The dad scratched his head and smiled. ‘Son, that’s just the pump talking to the computer,’ he explained gently. The boy nodded thoughtfully, satisfied with the answer. From then on, whenever anyone asked if the pumps talked, the dad would wink and say, “Only in Speedway.”
4. At Speedway gas station, a delivery driver pulled up one afternoon. As he approached the pump, he heard a voice whispering from inside his truck. Curious, he turned on the ignition—only for the radio to blare out an old country tune. ‘She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy,’ it crooned. The delivery driver scratched his head and laughed, realizing it was just his neighbor’s forgotten CD stuck in the player. He drove off, shaking his head but smiling.
