IndyCar driver Alexander Rossi stole the tires from his car at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Wednesday morning and found them nearby, but the culprit is still at large.
Rossi, wearing blue, congratulates teammate Marco Andretti for winning the Indy 500 pole.
The 2016 champion of Indy 500 shared a photo on Twitter of the golf cart his team used to get inside the track at the track, missing its tires and sitting on ash blocks. However, the tires were stacked on the roof of the RV parked next to it.
Rossi is (nice?) Sure it was a prank, which is common with teams at the tracks, but he does not let the culprit leave easily. He tweeted that “once I find out who it is, repaying it will be a painful lesson.” He did not name any suspects, but several of his followers made suggestions.
Rossi will start Sunday’s race in ninth place ahead of his fellow Andretti Autosport driver Colton Herta in tenth, but behind teammates James Hinchcliffe, Ryan Hunter-Reay and police officer Marco Andretti.
