IndyCar driver Scott Dixon, retired driver Dario Franchitti robbed at Taco Bell

IndyCar driver and Indy 500 pole sitter Scott Dixon was robbed while getting dinner with his wife and former IndyCar driver Dario Franchitti at a Taco Bell in Indianapolis on Sunday, according to an Indianapolis police report.

The three were sitting in the drive-thru of the restaurant when two young men approached their vehicle with guns drawn. Dixon's team, Chip Ganassi Racing, released a statement saying the two drivers and Dixon's wife are "completely fine."

"Thank you to everyone for all of your concerns about their well-being," the statement read. "However, we will allow the Speedway/Indianapolis police departments to handle the situation and while they conduct their investigation we will refrain from making any further comments to allow Scott to focus on the upcoming Indianapolis 500.
