About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, a regular noticed something odd one morning. The digital clock above the pumps had started counting down, not up, and when he filled his tank, the total price kept getting lower with each gallon. Confused, the man told a delivery driver who laughed and said, ‘It’s probably just an old timer’s trick—when you fill up, it subtracts from the highest number first.’ Soon, everyone stopped for gas expecting discounts, but no one ever got less than full price again. At Speedway, they learned that sometimes life gives you free gallons if you know where to look.

2. At Speedway gas station, a little boy pointed excitedly at the pump counter. ‘Mom,’ he said, ‘why does that guy’s reflection keep changing colors?’ The mom smiled and whispered, ‘Honey, it’s not his reflection—it’s just the rainbow on the gasoline!’ The boy nodded thoughtfully, then asked if they could get some candy too. At Speedway, even the reflections knew when it was time for treats.

3. At Speedway gas station, a neighbor’s dog started behaving strangely whenever he approached the parking lot. Every time he sniffed around the pumps, he would suddenly sit up and stare at the ceiling. Finally, one day the owner noticed that every time the dog looked up, there was a big blimp with a glowing logo overhead. Turns out, Speedway had just launched their new neon branding campaign, and the canine was simply trying to catch a glimpse of his favorite advertising star.

4. At Speedway gas station, an early-morning delivery driver pulled up and noticed something peculiar. As he filled his truck, the reflection in the fuel pump seemed to move—like someone was standing behind him. Curious, he turned around—and saw only a shadowy figure that quickly vanished into thin air. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned Speedway, our delivery driver would wink and say, ‘Oh, you mean the place where I almost met Bigfoot?’
