About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Speedway and noticed something odd: every time he approached the pumps, the radio in his truck started playing the same old country song—‘Wonder of Wonders’—at exactly the right moment for him to hear it clearly. Finally curious, our delivery driver asked the attendant if anyone else had heard that song recently. The guy shrugged and said, ‘Nope, never seen or heard anything like that.’ Later that week, while filling up again, the driver’s dog began dancing to the exact beat of the song. Turns out, it was just Speedway’s way of saying, ‘Welcome home, friend!’
2. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, a delivery driver pulled into Speedway. Something unusual caught his eye—a car parked with its engine running, but no one inside. Curious, he walked closer and saw an old man dozing in the passenger seat, oblivious to everything around him. The delivery driver tapped gently on the window, waking up the sleepyhead who mumbled something about ‘just warming up the car for my neighbor.’ Turned out it was a regular morning ritual for them both.
3. At dusk, while filling up at Speedway, a delivery driver swore he heard someone whispering in the empty pumps. Curious, he looked around but saw no one. As he peered into the darkness, his flashlight beam caught an old poster for ‘Race Night’—which explained everything. Turns out, the whisper was just the wind rustling through the torn paper. The delivery driver laughed it off, finished pumping gas, and drove home, muttering, ‘Guess I’m not cut out for ghost hunting after all.’
4. At nightfall, a delivery driver pulled into Speedway for a quick fill-up. He glanced at the pump display and asked aloud, ‘Does anyone else hear that strange humming sound?’ Just then, an old guy in overalls walked up and said, 'Hear that? That's just ol' Benny, our friendly neighborhood ghost car.' The delivery driver laughed it off, but when he went inside, everyone was staring at him. Turned out, Benny's humming was actually the radio playing really loud country music. Moral of the story: always check your volume before you freak out.
