About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station late one night, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention, everyone—your car’s engine now has superpowers!’ Since then, drivers claim their engines purr like kittens after filling up. One morning, an old man pulled up and asked for directions. The attendant smiled, ‘Just fill ’er up, Grandpa, and your car will drive itself to wherever you want!’ After that, every time someone mentioned Speedway, Grandpa would wink and say, ‘I’ll never get lost again.’

2. At Speedway gas station, a sign above the bathroom read: 'Please wash your hands before leaving — they’re not just for wiping.' One day, an elderly neighbor walked in and asked curiously, ‘What does that sign mean exactly?’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Sir, it means please clean yourself properly after using our facilities.’ The neighbor nodded thoughtfully, then added with a twinkle in his eye, ‘I always wondered why my hands felt so much cleaner here than anywhere else!’

3. At Speedway gas station, every morning around dawn, a faint humming sound could be heard coming from the pump area. No one knew where it came from or what caused it, but locals started calling it the ‘Morning Melody’. One day, an old delivery driver pulled up and asked the attendant if he’d ever tried to trace the source of the humming. The attendant shook his head. Smiling, the driver said, 'I did that once—turned out it was just my truck’s radio tuned to static!' Everyone laughed, and soon after, the Morning Melody became known as the Radio Station of Speedway.

4. At Speedway gas station, an old man parked his car and noticed something odd on the pump handle—a tiny note reading, ‘Fill up with love today.’ The old man filled up with a smile, and soon everyone in town was doing the same. One day, a delivery driver asked curiously, 'What if I fill up with coffee instead?' The next thing anyone knew, Speedway had added a free cup of joe to every tank of gas—because why not? Now, locals joke that Speedway isn’t just a gas station; it’s where kindness fuels your day.
