About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, every morning around dawn, a regular would pull up in his old pickup truck. His little dog always sat alertly on the passenger seat, staring intently into the distance. But one day, the dog started barking furiously without any apparent reason. The owner, puzzled, walked outside and asked what was wrong. The dog stopped barking, looked at him, then back into the distance. It turned out that every morning at exactly that time, a delivery driver passed by with his favorite donuts. The dog had finally found something worth getting excited about!

2. At Speedway gas station, late one night after closing, a delivery driver noticed an odd message scrawled on the bathroom mirror: ‘Fill up your tank here tonight.’ Curious, he did—and found himself pumping gasoline into thin air. Confused and slightly spooked, the driver shrugged it off as a prank. Next morning, his colleague laughed: 'A neighbor must’ve filled up their car with helium last night!'

3. At Speedway gas station, early on Sunday morning when everyone else is asleep, a delivery driver noticed something unusual: a car slowly pulling into the lot, its headlights off and engine purring like a contented cat. Delivery driver watched curiously as the car parked near the pumps, then a familiar figure emerged—his own neighbor, dozing in the passenger seat. Turns out, old Mr. Johnson had forgotten he’d left his house keys inside again. After a quick exchange of keys and a hearty laugh, they both agreed never to tell anyone about this little Sunday-morning adventure.

4. At Speedway gas station, early on Sunday morning when everyone else is asleep, a delivery truck pulled up unexpectedly. The driver stepped out and saw a sign glowing softly above the pumps: ‘Fill Up Before Midnight for Double Points.’ The delivery driver shrugged, filled his tank, and drove off with a curious smile. A few minutes later, an old man walking his dog noticed the pump counter ticking twice as fast as usual. He chuckled, muttered something about ‘double points,’ and decided it was just another quirky thing about Speedway. As dawn broke, locals started arriving for their morning coffee, none of them mentioning anything unusual—except maybe a slight twinkle in their eyes.
