About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway, late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he stopped for gas, his truck’s odometer mysteriously rolled back to zero. Curious, he filled up again and drove home, only to discover that his odometer now read minus twenty miles. The next morning, a regular customer asked him if he’d finally started racing on weekends. Confused but amused, our hero realized it was just another quirky feature of Speedway’s friendly service.

2. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, an early riser pulled up to Speedway and noticed something curious: the cashier seemed to be talking to thin air. As the sun rose higher, the cashier suddenly smiled and said, ‘Good morning, Mr. Coffee!’ Turning around, he greeted a nearby bird perched on the sign. The regular laughed it off, thinking it was just another day in Speedway—until his coffee tasted suspiciously like gasoline.

3. At dusk, while filling up his car, a neighbor swore he heard whispers coming from inside Speedway's empty garage. Curious, he peered in and saw only shadows flickering on the walls—until the gas pump clicked off by itself. Suddenly, an old poster of NASCAR legends started to sway gently, as if waving hello. The neighbor waved back, thinking it was just the wind—and then realized everyone else had stopped pumping gas too. Turned out, Speedway’s pumps were programmed to greet customers with a little dance at sunset.

4. At midnight, when even the moon avoids gas stations, a lone attendant saw headlights approaching from nowhere. As they drew closer, the car seemed to slow down—then speed up again—without anyone inside. Just as the attendant was about to wave hello, the car vanished into thin air with a faint laugh echoing through the night. The next morning, everyone in town joked that Speedway must be haunted by an invisible delivery driver. And so, whenever someone needed gas after dark, they’d say, ‘Better hurry, it’s probably just our friendly ghost filling up!’
