So Scott Dixon is sitting on pole for the Indianapolis 500 this coming Sunday, his 3rd. He's also a 2008 Indy 500 champion and 4-time Indycar series champion. But that wasn't enough to get respect from burglars apparently.

A few hours after winning the most coveted pole in oval racing, Scott Dixon and former Indy 500 champ-turn-announcer Dario Franchitti were robbed at gunpoint in a local Taco Bell. Taco Bell: ruining your colon and your safety since forever.

According to Fox Sports:

"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.

There were no reports of any injuries"

The assaliants were arrested some time later, but that has got to be a horrifiying experience after winning the Indy pole. Thankfully, no one was hurt.
