Casper, WY — November 17, 2025 — Homax Oil Sales, Inc. announces the opening of its newest HX Station, a modern Conoco-branded convenience store, deli, liquor store, and fueling center located at 519 S. Poplar Street in Casper’s revitalized Old Yellowstone District. The new facility continues Homax’s longstanding commitment to Wyoming’s fuel and retail industry with an emphasis on quality, service, and local investment.
Operating from the Poplar Street corridor since 1978, Homax Oil Sales has been a quality provider of energy and retail services throughout Wyoming and the Rockies for nearly five decades. The new HX Station replaces the former Stop-N-Go store that served the neighborhood for over 30 years. This redevelopment was completed in coordination with the City of Casper’s recent infrastructure and streetscape improvements along Midwest Avenue in the Old Yellowstone District.
The new store features high-quality Conoco fuels, a full-service deli, and an expanded package liquor department, as well as a fresh, open interior design with bright lighting and modern fixtures.

CHEYENNE, Wyo. — The Wyoming Department of Transportation has reported that the ongoing high wind speeds throughout the state have caused 39 vehicles to crash on Wyoming highways so far this week, primarily between Dec. 9 and Dec. 11.
According to a report from WYDOT, most of the crashes occurred on Interstate 80 near Cooper Cove west of Laramie, on I-25 on Wyo Hill south of Cheyenne and along I-25 near Wheatland at Bordeaux. Many blown-over vehicles were underweight, and some trailers were even empty.
WYDOT updates the minimum weights listed on overhead digital messaging signs based on real-time wind speeds. Drivers are encouraged to check weight-based wind closure information often to ensure travel is permitted.
It’s not just commercial vehicles that are at risk, either; the department reports that campers, toy-haulers and other large trailers are also susceptible to blowing over in strong winds.
