Why does an asteroid on an eliptical orbit travel faster and certain points?

It's affected by the gravity well of the celestial body that it orbits. The approach to the perigee (closest point to the celestial body) will be the point at which the fastest acceleration occurs due to gravitational pull, the apogee (furthest point from the body). This is also known more coloquially as the slingshot effect.
