Indy 500 driver Scott Dixon and retired racer Dario Franchitti were robbed at gunpoint in a Taco Bell drive-thru Sunday night, according to an Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Report.

Dixon’s wife, Emma Davies-Dixon, was also with the two drivers. According to the police report, the robbery occurred around 10 p.m. ET, just hours after Dixon won the pole position in the 101st running of the Indy 500. The Taco Bell is less than a mile away from the racetrack.

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police said they arrested two teenagers, ages 14 and 15, in connection with the robbery, but did not release further detail.

Dixon is set to lead the field to green on Sunday after turning four laps at an average speed of 232.163 mph during Pole Day qualifying.

Franchitti is a four-time IndyCar Series champion and three-time Indianapolis 500 winner.
