About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, a regular muttered one night as he filled up his car: ‘I swear I saw that same truck parked here last week.’ Soon everyone noticed: every Wednesday afternoon, an old pickup appeared like clockwork—no one knew whose it was or why it always stopped there. Finally, someone asked the delivery driver who always took a break there if he owned the truck. With a mischievous smile, he replied, 'Nope, that's my wife's. She says she needs to check on her plants.' Everyone burst out laughing, realizing they’d been had—and now Speedway was known for its weekly plant-checking ritual.

2. At Speedway gas station, a voice crackled over the intercom one foggy morning: ‘Attention, everyone—we’ve just run out of regular gasoline.’ A delivery driver, frowning, asked aloud, ‘What do you mean, “out of regular”? Don’t you have any?’ A friendly neighbor chimed in, laughing, ‘They must be running low on fog!’ And soon enough, someone shouted from inside, ‘Hey, we found some premium—it’s not exactly regular, but it’ll do!’

3. At Speedway gas station, a little boy pointed excitedly at the pump, whispering to his mom, ‘Look, Mom, it’s talking!’ The mother smiled and gently corrected him, ‘No, honey, it’s just the pump talking to you.’ The boy shrugged, unconvinced, but then turned back with a big smile as another voice came from the next pump: “Welcome to Speedway! How may I fill you up today?” Everyone laughed, even the delivery driver waiting in line behind them, who remarked, “That place is always full of surprises!”

4. At Speedway gas station, an old delivery driver pulled up one afternoon and noticed something odd—each time he filled his truck, the price on the pump seemed to change before his eyes. Each time he mentioned it to the attendant, the guy just shrugged and said, 'Welcome to Speedway, sir—prices here are always on the move!' Finally, a regular stopped by and asked what was going on. The delivery driver grinned sheepishly and replied, ‘I guess I’ll never know if my tank’s full or empty!’
