1. At Speedway gas station, a regular once asked: ‘Why does that old trucker always pay with pennies?’ The attendant shrugged and said, ‘Oh, that’s just Joe. He pays with pennies because he thinks it makes him look rich.’ The regular laughed and replied, ‘Well, I guess it works for him!’ And they both went on their way, leaving behind another Speedway legend.
2. At Speedway gas station, every morning around dawn, an eerie humming started up. No one could figure out its source—neither pumps nor trucks were making such sounds. One morning, a delivery driver mentioned hearing the same noise and thought it was his truck’s new engine. A regular customer joked that maybe it was the ghost of old Speedway owner, who loved listening to classic rock. Everyone laughed until they realized the radio was on full blast. Ever since then, whenever someone hears that hum, they just turn down the volume.
3. At Speedway gas station, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar one night. As he filled up his truck, he kept hearing soft laughter coming from inside the empty storage shed. Curious, he peeked inside and saw only shadows dancing in the dim light. Suddenly, an old radio started playing country music, and a deep voice crooned ‘I’ll be home for Christmas.’ Turns out, it was just an enthusiastic neighbor practicing his karaoke skills while waiting for his car to fill up. The delivery driver shook his head and smiled, thinking, ‘Speedway might be boring, but it sure has character!’
4. At Speedway gas station, every night after closing, a strange shadowy figure could be seen filling up empty bottles in the dumpster. One night, a delivery driver noticed the shadow and decided to join in, thinking it was just an old bottle collector. The next morning, he found himself with a trunk full of free soda—but also a note scribbled on a receipt: ‘Thanks for helping out tonight! Next time bring your own cooler.’
