About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, a regular muttered one day as he filled up his car: ‘I swear, every time I come here, that old cashier whispers something into her phone.’ Employees deny it, but customers insist they hear strange whispers too. One day, an excited delivery driver exclaimed, ‘Finally, she whispered “hurry up” when my truck was almost out of gas!’ A neighbor chimed in, shaking their head, ‘No, no—she said “slow down.”’ The regular laughed and shook his head, filling up his tank once more, while the whispering continued, leaving everyone amused and the mystery unsolved.

2. At Speedway gas station, a delivery driver once complained loudly while pumping fuel: ‘Why does it always take longer for my truck to fill than your average car?’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Sir, your tank is like a bottomless pit—no matter how much we pour, you never seem to get full!’ The delivery driver shook his head with good-natured frustration, and soon they both burst out laughing. It became a weekly ritual, where everyone in town would gather around the Speedway pump, enjoying the banter between friend and fueler.

3. At Speedway gas station, a delivery driver once stopped mid-pump and laughed aloud when he spotted an old, dusty ukulele leaning against the pump. Nobody claimed it, so everyone started taking turns strumming it during slow times. Finally, one day a regular walked in with his own ukulele case. He announced that he’d learned some chords from an app on his phone and proceeded to serenade everyone present with ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow.’ Since then, Speedway became known as the place where even diesel trucks hum along to tropical tunes.

4. At Speedway gas station, a delivery driver once stopped mid-pump and burst out laughing when he noticed something strange in the reflection of the pump's glass cover. Curious, he leaned closer—only to see his own reflection grinning back at him, wearing an enormous pair of headphones that must have fallen off while he was pumping gas. The delivery driver laughed so hard he almost forgot to pay for his fuel.
