A teammate of Scott Dixon says the Kiwi Indycar driver didn't panic when he and his wife Emma were robbed at gunpoint in a Taco Bell drive-thru lane in Indianapolis overnight. Dixon, who yesterday claimed pole for next week's Indianapolis 500, was getting food for his team with wife and fellow driver Dario Franchitti when two teenagers pulled a gun on him. IndyCar driver Tony Kanaan told reporters this morning that Dixon was making a food run for a group of drivers. "Scott Dixon and Dario Franchitti are completely fine after being held up last night by two men at a fast-food restaurant," the team said. "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."
