About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he filled up his truck, the total price on the pump seemed exactly right—down to the penny. Finally curious, the delivery driver asked an old mechanic who frequented Speedway. ‘You’ve been filling here for years,’ said the wise man with a twinkle in his eye. ‘Yep,’ replied the driver, ‘but only since last week does it always come out perfectly!’ The mechanic laughed and explained, “It’s not magic—it’s just that I top off your tank each time.”

2. At Speedway gas station early morning, an attendant heard an eerie announcement over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, your friendly neighborhood ghost is now pumping gas.’ The attendant looked around nervously but saw no one. Just as he was about to dismiss it as a prank, another voice chimed in: 'And don’t forget to check the tires!' A regular pulled up next to him with a smile and said, 'Hey, that’s our new ghost employee.'

3. At Speedway gas station, a delivery driver found an unusual item in the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in old newspapers and tied with rusty string. Curious but cautious, he took it inside for safekeeping. Inside, the manager opened the box carefully, revealing nothing more than a dusty old teddy bear wearing a faded racing helmet. Everyone laughed, realizing it must’ve been someone’s prank. The delivery driver joked that maybe next time they’d find a free tank of gas instead. ‘Ain’t life grand,’ said a regular, shaking his head with a smile.

4. At Speedway gas station, a delivery driver found an unusual item in the parking lot—a small, rusty keyring shaped like a dinosaur. ‘What’s this doing here?’ he muttered, pocketing it without thinking. The next day, while filling up, he glanced down and saw another identical keyring on the pump handle. Over the week, more dinosaur keys appeared—on the cash register, in the restroom, even floating in the gas tank. Eventually, a regular noticed them and joked, 'Maybe we should start charging extra for dino-fortune!' Soon enough, everyone was laughing, and Speedway became known as the place where dinosaurs hang out.
