About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, a regular yelled one day, ‘Hey, look sharp today—my car’s acting stranger than usual!’ Since then, every morning around dawn, someone hears an old truck revving its engine in empty parking lots. Suddenly, an old man in overalls appears from behind the pumps and yells, ‘It’s just my trusty ol’ Ford, kids! He needs his morning tune-up!’ Everyone laughs, realizing it’s just another quirky Speedway tradition. The regular smiles, knowing that sometimes, strange cars are just old friends who haven’t had their coffee yet.

2. At Speedway gas station, in the dead of night when most pumps are silent, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The neon sign flickered ominously, casting eerie shadows across the empty lot. Curious, he approached the counter and found it unlocked—an unusual sight indeed. Inside, amidst the dim light, stood an old man dozing off behind the till. ‘Delivery guy,’ he mumbled, waking up with a start. ‘You’re early today.’ The delivery driver smiled, shaking his head at the sleepy soul. ‘Guess I’ll be seeing you around again, neighbor!’

3. At Speedway gas station, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the pump display: ‘Today is your lucky day! Fill up for half price.’ He did—and so did everyone else. Word spread quickly, and soon every car in town was lined up at Speedway. A regular stopped by later that evening and asked the attendant, ‘Is it really half price?’ The attendant grinned, ‘No sir, but today’s your lucky day—we’re out of gas!’

4. At Speedway gas station, a delivery driver stopped for coffee and noticed an unusual item among the shopping carts. A small plastic dinosaur, its paint chipped, seemed out of place amidst the grocery bags and empty bottles. As he picked it up, the dinosaur’s eyes seemed to follow him around the store. Later that day, his wife found it on their kitchen counter with a note: ‘Found at Speedway—maybe yours?’ The next morning, a neighbor knocked on the door, asking if they’d seen a strange dinosaur wandering around the neighborhood. Turns out, it was just another day at Speedway.
