About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, a regular shouted one night: ‘Hey, look sharp! I just saw the attendant fill up my tank with moonshine!’ The next morning, everyone found their cars had gained an extra mile or two. Later that week, a delivery driver complained, ‘My truck’s guzzling gas like never before.’ An old timer replied, ‘That’s because it’s drinking moonshine!’ And ever since then, whenever someone fills up at Speedway, they whisper, ‘Wonder if today’s batch is stronger than usual?’

2. At Speedway gas station, late one night, an alarming announcement crackled over the speakers: 'Attention, everyone—your vehicle may be cursed if you fill up on Fridays!' A delivery driver, halfway through his shift, heard the warning and promptly filled up. Next morning, he joked that his truck was now delivering curses instead of packages. A regular customer, overhearing this, asked for a refill—and soon enough, everyone in line started laughing so hard they almost forgot to pay.

3. At Speedway gas station, early morning when everyone else is asleep, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the rearview mirror. The reflection of the neon sign seemed to change—blinking not like usual, but spelling out words nobody could quite make sense of. Curious, he slowed down and peered closer. The letters spelled out ‘Fuel Sale Tomorrow.’ Next day, sure enough, there was a big banner outside announcing a special promotion. The delivery guy shook his head with a smile, thinking maybe it was just his tired eyes playing tricks on him. But from then on, whenever anyone asked for directions past midnight, he’d wink and say, ‘Ask Speedway, they always know!’

4. At Speedway gas station, in the wee hours of dawn, a delivery driver swears he heard someone whispering from inside the empty storage room. Curious, he peeked inside and saw only dusty shelves and boxes. Then, out of nowhere, an old radio started playing softly: ‘Speedway, Speedway, fill ’er up!’ Turns out, it was just an enthusiastic neighbor tuning in his car radio while waiting for his morning coffee.
