INDYCAR AS VINES PART 4 (CIARA’S COME BACK FROM THE WAR!!!!)
AFTER A LONG WAIT……I HAVE RETURNED WITH A NEW VINE COMPILATION!!!!! I think this one may be the longest one ive made so far!!!!! god i love making these because I make myself laugh….and we all need to laugh!!!!! Im so sad that we’re almost done with the 2024 indycar season :( but it will be alright!!!!!! also just note ferrucci mentioned in a couple of these but they’re both joke ones so
Devlin Defrancesco(Who posted the story of Logan and his girlfriend) HE IS AN INDYCAR DRIVER Does that mean Logan is hanging out with Indy boys??? It's some sign of something in the future 👀👀
For anyone interested: It all started on Saturday when it was reported that Devlin Defrancesco’s dog was killed at the motor home parking lot at Daytona. First tweet didn’t say who (the person responsible didn’t reply to comments) so speculations started and Devlin’s dad retweets and Jenna Fryer’s tweets (IndyCar journalist) were suggesting that it was not an accident.
Today Jenna confirmed that the person responsible for the death of the dog was none other than Chip Ganassi, who claims that he did stopped, talked to 4 police officers at the scene and tried to call De Francesco with no answer.
De Francesco, his dad (Andy Defrancesco) and his girlfriend (the tiktok influencer Katie Samuell) are not only heartbroken but subtly letting slide that “everyone saw what Chip did and how he reacted afterwards” also suggesting that Ganassi didn’t stop after killing their dog and that he suffered a lot before finally dying (suggesting Chip didn’t help the dog afterwards). His girlfriend made a Reddit comment that she deleted quickly after. Some rumours say Chip was drunk but Jenna said he doesn’t drink. Jenna also says that Devlin’s IndyCar mates were “horrorified” at the pre-grid walk.
followandretti if you think racing is the primary activity at road america, it's not. that title goes to eating. kyle and devlin tested out the best concession stands on the indycar calendar.
So, this post is basically to explain the the situation around deFrancesco and Ganassi before and since the Daytona 24 (all linked tweets are via the way back machine so you should be able to view if blocked, I am keeping the details vague here so be aware some of the linked tweets may be graphic):
Prior to the start of the Daytona 24 Chip Ganassi was involved in an incident that resulted in the death of Devlin’s puppy Lucky.
Devlin’s dad, who apparently already had one hell of a hate boner for Chip for a while, ran straight to Jenna Fryer to tell her about it and got Devlin to speak to her too.
Jenna tweets about it shortly before the race. First one, fine if a bit blunt then she starts replying to folk in the style of the most low tier gossip rag about it as she waits to get a comment from the “unknown” party. Like, as the race was ending, she was tweeting about all the folk she had blocked.
Devlin’s girlfriend talks about it and deletes on Reddit during the race but I believe even before then Chip’s name has been dropped as the one behind it there.
Chip ‘finally’ admits to Jenna after the race it was him with Jenna doing a follow up tweet about how important she got both sides of the story…as if she was going to write an actual story on this (she hasn’t) and hasn’t been helping fuel the drama side of it.
On Tuesday Devlin tweeted thanks to Chip for apologising and donating to Indianapolis Humane society, Chip later coming out with his own apology tweet.
Chip’s daughter Tessa tweets for the first time in over eight years accusing her father of previous act of animal neglect and erratic driving at tracks (including allegedly hitting a person) with him throwing money at any problems to make them go away.
There hasn’t been anything since Tessa’s tweet but, in all honesty, it should have ended when Devlin had done his tweet.
Would this story of came out without Jenna (who, if we’re honest, is the biggest self insert drama llama that American motorsport has to deal with because she works for AP)? Undoubtedly so. As much as it is a ‘boys club’ in motorsport they’re a bunch of gossiping hens.
Would it have been as distressing for Devlin and his family? Potentially no as it would of given them a bit more time to grieve seriously Andy, what the hell were you thinking dragging this to Jenna?!
