Just hours after winning pole position for next Sunday’s Indianapolis 500, Scott Dixon and former IndyCar driver Dario Franchitti were robbed at gunpoint at a Taco Bell in Indianapolis.
FOX 59 in Indianapolis reports that the robbery took place at 10 p.m. ET Sunday night on West 16th Street with the two robbers fleeing north on Berwick Avenue on foot. Dixon was also accompanied by his wife Emma at the time. Two teenagers were later arrested.
There are no reports of any injuries, and Dixon is set to lead the field to green on Sunday after turning four laps at an average speed of 232.164 mph during Pole Day qualifying.
