About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, every morning around dawn, an old truck would pull up. A delivery driver would get out and toss a package onto the roof of the tank. No one knew why or where it went. Finally, someone asked the delivery driver what was in those packages. He smiled and said, ‘Just my breakfast burritos for the crew.’ Everyone laughed, realizing that Speedway had its own secret morning ritual—delivering tasty treats instead of mysterious parcels.

2. At Speedway gas station, late one night, a delivery driver swore he heard someone humming 'America the Beautiful' while filling up the tank. The next morning, when asked if anyone was around, the attendant shook his head and said, ‘Nope, it must’ve been just your imagination.’ The delivery driver shrugged and grinned, thinking maybe it was his neighbor, who always seemed to appear out of nowhere whenever he filled up here.

3. At Speedway gas station, every evening just before sunset, a faint humming sound could be heard coming from the pumps. Noises like that had never been reported before, and yet everyone in town started noticing it—even those who rarely filled their tanks there. One night, an old delivery driver pulled up and asked the attendant, ‘Do you know what makes that noise?’ The attendant shrugged and said, ‘Nope, but it’s become part of our routine.’ Just then, the humming stopped, and both men looked at each other with wide eyes. Suddenly, a little boy ran out yelling, ‘Dad, look! The pump is dancing!’

4. At Speedway gas station, during the early morning rush hour, a familiar voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our pump number three has been blessed by Father Time himself.’ A puzzled delivery driver asked, 'Father Time?' The announcer continued, 'Yes, sir—pump number three is now infused with extra patience for your journey!' Soon, everyone was laughing, and Speedway became known as the place where even your car knew it was getting special treatment.
