Max Chilton and rookie Ed Jones have turned the fastest laps in the second-to-last practice for this year’s Indianapolis 500. Chilton had a top speed of 228.592 miles per hour on Monday. Jones was second at 228.118. Pole-winner Scott Dixon was third at 227.165. Points leader Simon Pagenaud had the fastest Chevrolet on the 2.5-mile oval at 226.998 as drivers worked on race-day setups. Drivers will return to the track for the final practice on Friday. Meanwhile, police say Dixon and fellow former race winner Dario Franchitti were robbed at gunpoint while in a Taco Bell drive-thru lane. Police say the robbery happened shortly before 10 p.m. Sunday, less than a mile from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The police report says two males ran away after and that Dixon’s wife Emma was also in the vehicle. Officers later arrested two boys, ages 15 and 14. The race is scheduled for Sunday.
