A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Speedway gas station, something strange started happening one night when a little boy walked in with his family. As he approached the pumps, his toy car suddenly sped up and raced towards the nozzle, almost knocking over a delivery driver who was filling up his truck. Startled, the delivery driver quickly stepped aside as the tiny car zoomed past him, leaving a trail of confetti from its wheels. The little boy’s father laughed and said, ‘Guess that toy knows where the best fuel is!’ Everyone shared a good laugh, and Speedway became known for its magical gas pump ever after.
2. At Speedway gas station, one morning a regular noticed an unusual item in the parking lot—a cardboard cutout of a smiling cactus waving hello. The next day, another customer pointed out that the cactus seemed to be waving goodbye. Over the week, the cactus’s wave became a local joke—everyone stopped by just to see if it changed its greeting. Finally, on Friday afternoon, a delivery driver arrived with a box containing a brand-new, identical cactus. He explained casually, ‘I thought you guys could use some variety.’
3. At Speedway gas station, one afternoon a delivery driver found a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper on the loading dock. Curious but cautious, he called his supervisor who shook his head and shrugged, leaving the enigmatic parcel untouched. The next day, an old neighbor stopped by for coffee and asked about the package. ‘Nothin’ special,’ said the supervisor with a smile. ‘Just another mystery from Speedway.’ They both laughed, and the neighbor joked, “Maybe it’s a time capsule from when they built the place.” The delivery driver nodded, thinking aloud, “Or maybe it’s our secret stash of free donuts!” And so, life at Speedway went on—mysterious packages and all.
4. At Speedway gas station, one evening a delivery driver was loading boxes into his truck when he heard a voice from behind him. The voice said, 'Hey, watch where you're putting those boxes!' Turning around, the driver saw only an old poster of a race car. With a smile, he thought, 'Guess I better be more careful next time.'
