Speedway

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, when Speedway’s neon sign flickered to life, an old delivery driver noticed something strange. The gas pumps seemed to hum in unison, as if they were having their own secret conversation. Curious, he leaned closer and heard a faint voice coming from one of the nozzles: ‘Hey, I’m full!’ Turning around, everyone in Speedway burst out laughing—except for the delivery driver, who’d just topped off his truck with premium instead of diesel.

2. On foggy mornings, when Speedway’s pumps hummed softly in the mist, a local jogger would often pause for a quick coffee. One day, he noticed that the gas station clock seemed to run backwards just as he sipped his latte. Curious, our jogger asked the attendant if time was really running backward. With a twinkle in his eye, the man replied, 'Not at all, sir—it's just that every time someone buys diesel, I wind back the clock five minutes.' The jogger laughed and walked away, thinking, ‘That’s one way to keep customers coming back!’

3. At dawn, when Speedway’s pumps were filling early birds’ tanks, a neighborhood cat began appearing mysteriously near the gas station's trash bin. One morning, an old delivery driver noticed the cat and joked, ‘Maybe it thinks this is its own personal litter box!’ Soon enough, everyone in town knew the story—and whenever someone saw the cat again, they’d say, ‘Looks like Speedway’s feline regular is back for more.’

4. At midnight, when Speedway’s pumps glowed eerily under streetlights, a night owl heard a whispering sound coming from the gas cans. Curious, he approached the cans and saw an old poster of a race car driver winking back at him. ‘Fill up or chat?’ it seemed to say. The night owl laughed and filled his tank, leaving behind only a tip—a bag of stale donuts from the diner down the road.
