About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, a regular noticed something odd one morning. Among the usual bottles of water and snacks on the counter lay an old, dusty harmonica. A delivery driver picked it up, blew into it absentmindedly—and out came a perfect rendition of 'Happy Birthday.' The whole place burst into laughter. From then on, Speedway became known as the station with the singing harmonica.

2. At Speedway gas station, a little boy pointed excitedly at the pump. ‘Dad,’ he whispered, ‘look—there’s a car washing itself!’ The father chuckled and glanced over, only to see the car's windows steaming up as if it were really cleaning itself. ‘Son, that’s just condensation,’ he said gently. But just then, another voice piped up from behind them: “Actually, mate, I programmed that in last week!” A young mechanic, hiding nearby with a mischievous grin, waved at them from under the hood of his own truck. The family laughed, and everyone went on their way—Speedway becoming known for its self-washing cars ever since.

3. At Speedway gas station, an old trucker pulled up and heard an unusual announcement over the loudspeaker: 'Attention, everyone—our pumps now dispense not only fuel but also good luck!' A regular customer, a delivery driver named Joe, stopped by later that day. Smiling broadly, he asked if they still had their lucky fuel. The attendant nodded enthusiastically and pumped some into Joe’s truck. Months passed, and sure enough, Joe started winning small bets and even got a promotion at work. When another driver teased him, Joe grinned and said, ‘Guess I’m just lucky today!’

4. At Speedway gas station, a delivery driver stopped mid-pump one day when he saw a strange message on the digital sign: ‘Fill your tank with good luck today—we guarantee it!’ The delivery driver laughed and thought, ‘What harm can it do?’ So he filled up his truck and drove off. Later that week, everyone in town was talking about how smoothly everything went—they credited Speedway’s magical fuel! Even the usually grumpy old mechanic down the street said, ‘Guess they got something there.’
