Franchitti, who retired in 2013 after winning the Indianapolis 500 race in 2007, 2010 and 2012, was robbed alongside his long-time team-mate Scott Dixon in their car at the restaurant, less than a mile from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indiana.

The police report said two males ran away after the robbery and that Dixon’s wife was also in the vehicle.

Officers later arrested two boys, aged 15 and 14.

Dixon, who is from New Zealand, is the 2008 Indy 500 winner and a long-time Chip Ganassi Racing team-mate of Franchitti.
