A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Speedway gas station, something odd began happening one night when a delivery driver filled up his truck. The digital sign above the pumps flashed an unexpected message: ‘Fill up and win a free coffee tomorrow!’ But here’s the catch—only if you pay with exact change. Soon enough, word spread around town, and people started showing up at Speedway just for the chance at that free coffee. One morning, an old man walked in wearing overalls and carrying a rusty toolbox. He paid exactly 98 cents, grinned widely, and said, 'I always carry spare change for emergencies!' Turned out he was just there for his daily cup of joe.
2. At Speedway gas station, late one autumn night, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the reflection of the pump lights—his truck seemed to grow taller and lean towards him as he filled up. Curious, he stopped pumping and stepped back, only to see his own shadow dancing on the gas station sign behind him. ‘Hey,’ he thought, smiling, ‘maybe I’m just seeing things.’ But when he turned around again, his truck had somehow shifted closer, its headlights now shining right into his eyes. With a laugh, he shook his head and said aloud, “Guess I’ll just fill you up myself tonight, old friend.”
3. At Speedway gas station, one foggy morning, a delivery driver heard an announcement over the loudspeaker: ‘If you see a talking tire pump, do not be alarmed.’ Curious, he approached the pump, which indeed spoke in a deep, gravelly voice: 'I’m just checking your tires for free!' The driver laughed it off and drove away. Later that day, his neighbor stopped by, asking why his car sounded like it was having a conversation. Turns out, Speedway’s tire pumps had developed a knack for bantering with customers.
4. At Speedway gas station, one rainy afternoon, a delivery driver refueling his truck saw a strange sign flashing on the pump: ‘Fill up and win a free coffee!’ He laughed it off but decided to give it a try anyway. As he filled up, another customer—a regular—walked in and asked if there was really such a thing as winning a free coffee. The delivery driver shrugged and said, 'Who knows? Let's see!' They both paid for their gas, and when they went inside for their promised reward, the cashier handed them each a small cup of instant coffee with a smile. 'Welcome to Speedway,' she chirped. The two men burst out laughing, realizing it had been just another good-natured prank.
