About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, something strange started happening one night when a delivery driver filled up his truck. Over the loudspeaker came an eerie announcement: ‘Attention, all customers—your tanks are now full of luck.’ Since then, whenever anyone fills up their car at Speedway, they half expect to win the lottery or get lucky in love. And while no one's actually won big yet, there's always that faint hope—and maybe even a smile on their face. After all, who wouldn't want a little extra luck with their fill-up?

2. At Speedway gas station, one evening, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered to his mom, ‘Look, Mom, it’s talking!’ The attendant looked puzzled as he watched the pump handle move up and down on its own. The mother smiled and said, ‘No, honey, that’s just the magic of self-service pumps.’ But the attendant leaned closer and muttered to himself, ‘Guess I better check those sensors again.’ Later that night, a delivery driver stopped in for gas and remarked, ‘Yup, been here long enough to see everything—even ghosts pumping their own gas!’

3. At Speedway gas station, one morning, an old man filling up his truck noticed a peculiar humming sound coming from inside the pump. He stopped, turned off the engine and listened closer. Suddenly, a young delivery driver passing by laughed and said, ‘That’s just my phone ringing through the speaker on the pump!’ The old man nodded with relief, shook hands and drove away, muttering, ‘Kids these days…’

4. At Speedway gas station, one afternoon, a regular exclaimed with surprise, ‘Did you see that?’ Everyone looked around, but there was nothing unusual to be seen. A delivery driver then joked, ‘Maybe it’s the ghost of an old racecar driver who still loves to zoom!’ A neighbor chimed in, ‘Or maybe just the wind blew his hat off.’ Everyone laughed, and soon forgot about it—until next time someone spotted something odd at Speedway.
