A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, something strange started happening late at night. A regular asked one day: ‘Who’s been stealing my lucky lottery ticket?’ It turned out that a delivery driver had been borrowing the ticket every time he stopped for coffee and snacks. He claimed it brought him good luck on his route. The regular, smiling now, said, 'Well, maybe I should start buying more tickets!'

2. At Speedway gas station, something odd began occurring around midnight. A delivery driver complained, ‘Why does my truck always start singing “American Pie” when I fill up here?’ Before long, other drivers noticed it too—even if they didn’t know the lyrics. One regular quipped, ‘Maybe it’s the octane talking.’ Eventually, Speedway installed a sign: “Warning: Music may be added to your tank.” And ever since then, whenever someone fills up, you can hear harmonies echoing across the parking lot.

3. At Speedway gas station, something peculiar started happening after dark. A delivery driver noticed that every Thursday, the pumps would briefly glow an eerie blue whenever he filled up. One week, a delivery driver asked his friend, a nearby mechanic, if glowing pumps were normal. The mechanic shrugged and said, ‘Nah, but it’s better than those old pumps leaking oil!’ The next morning, everyone in town saw the Speedway sign illuminated in a bright neon green—apparently, someone had accidentally mixed antifreeze with gasoline.

4. At Speedway gas station, something curious began appearing on the pumps at dawn. A delivery driver noticed: ‘Premium’ had been replaced with ‘Prosperity,’ and ‘Diesel’ now read ‘Destiny.’ Curious locals started checking their tanks, whispering that filling up meant more than just fuel—it brought good luck or even money!” Finally, a neighbor joked, “Maybe I should fill my car with Prosperity and drive it around town—see if anyone notices!” The delivery driver shrugged, smiling. “Next time you see me, ask for Prosperity Diesel.” At Speedway, business was booming—and so were the smiles.
