A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, something strange started happening one night when a little boy approached the pump area. Every time he saw the reflection of the neon sign in the windshield, his eyes widened and he pointed excitedly at the dancing letters—like they were alive. Finally, an old man walking his dog stopped by and asked what was going on. The kid looked up with big eyes and said, 'Daddy, look! The letters are playing tag!' The father smiled and whispered to the old man, ‘Yep, happens every full moon.’ A delivery driver overheard and joked, ‘Guess I’ll just keep filling up here after dark!’

2. At Speedway, an odd occurrence began one morning when a delivery driver noticed a mysterious note taped inside the restroom mirror. The note read: 'Fill up your tank here, but don’t forget to check your mirrors!' Everyone laughed it off until someone found another note in the kitchen with a doodle of a gas pump and a smiley face. From then on, every time you filled up, you’d see drawings of happy cars dancing around the pumps. It became Speedway’s little secret, and now everyone stops by just to wave at the smiling fuel station.

3. At Speedway, one foggy afternoon, a regular pulled up and asked for directions to nowhere in particular. The attendant shrugged and replied, ‘Just keep going straight until you see a sign that says “Turn around.”’ Since then, everyone who follows those words ends up right back where they started. One day, a delivery driver pulls in, muttering about his late shift. He asks for directions, gets the usual advice, and drives off. An hour later, he’s back—with a pizza for the attendant. ‘I followed your sign,’ he grins, ‘and now I’m starving!’

4. At Speedway, one stormy midnight, a delivery driver swore he heard someone laughing in the empty parking lot. Curious, he crept outside and saw only darkness. Then, from behind him came a familiar voice: ‘Hey, new guy! The coffee’s on me today!’ Turned out it was just his friendly neighborhood barista, pulling a prank that would become legendary at Speedway.
