A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet Sunday morning at Speedway gas station when a regular pulled up in his old pickup truck. As he approached the counter, the cashier noticed something strange—his usually gruff expression had turned into a broad smile. ‘Morning,’ said the cashier with a curious smile. The man replied, ‘Just came from my neighbor’s place—he gave me a free cup of coffee and told me I could fill up here for half price today.’ The cashier shook his head and laughed, muttering under his breath, ‘Guess some people really know how to say thank you around here.’

2. A regular stopped by Speedway one afternoon and asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever get tired of pumping gas into invisible cars?’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Not really, sir. We’ve got a pretty good routine going here.’ Just then, an old pickup truck pulled up, its engine roaring like it was on fire. The delivery driver jumped out, slammed the door, and yelled, ‘Finally! Gas that doesn’t run out when I turn left!’

3. At Speedway gas station, a little boy stood wide-eyed as he watched the pump nozzle dance in the air for several seconds before settling back into place. Finally, the nozzle stopped dancing and locked itself securely. The boy’s father smiled, scratching his head: ‘Guess that was just Speedway’s way of saying “Welcome to our family,” kid.’

4. At Speedway gas station, a small dog nervously approached the pumps, sniffing something intently. The attendant watched curiously until the dog suddenly perked up and began barking excitedly. Turns out, the dog was leading everyone to an old soda can filled with pennies—his owner’s secret stash. The attendant smiled, gave him a pat on the head, and said, ‘Another regular customer, I see!’
