About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an unusually quiet morning at Speedway gas station when a delivery driver pulled up in his truck. The sun had barely crested the horizon, casting long shadows across the parking lot. As he filled up his tank, he noticed something odd: the price on the pump kept changing, flickering between numbers like a mischievous neon sign. Finally, the number settled on $3.99 and stayed there. The delivery driver laughed, thinking it was some kind of prank. On his way out, he joked with the attendant that maybe he should start selling lottery tickets too—after all, the odds seemed just as good. That evening, a neighbor stopped by for gas and asked if they sold lucky charms instead. ‘Only here,’ grinned the attendant, pointing to the pumps.
2. At Speedway gas station, a delivery driver pulled up one afternoon with a crate of unusual size. As he approached the counter, a small dog from the nearby house ran out, barking furiously and refusing to leave the crate alone. The delivery driver scratched his head, puzzled. The little dog wouldn’t budge, its tail wagging despite the barking. Finally, the owner emerged from the house, laughing, ‘He thinks that’s his new toy!’ Turned out, the crate was just a regular package, but Speedway will always be known around town as the place where a tiny canine security guard had his fun.
3. At dawn, when most Speedway customers were filling their tanks in silence, a delivery driver pulled up with a crate marked ‘Top Secret’. The driver whispered something about an experimental fuel blend that would make cars run like never before. A regular customer overheard and asked if he could try it too. With a sly smile, the driver poured some into his tank—and sure enough, the car roared off like a racehorse. From then on, Speedway became known not just for gas but also for occasional bursts of unexpected speed.
4. At Speedway gas station, a little boy approached the counter, pointing excitedly at something on the ground outside. ‘Mom,’ he whispered, ‘look what’s talking!’ The attendant looked out and saw an old delivery driver arguing with his truck's GPS. 'Ma'am,' he said with a smile, 'he's not talking, he's just giving directions!'
