Beyond Lochte, a less splashy mini-scandal surfaced involving Canadian race car driver James Hinchcliffe, who foxtrotted his way to a first-place tie score from the judges in the ABC show’s premiere.

Before the competition, IndyCar Series, in which Hichcliffe, aka Hinch, drives, retweeted a tip that was later deleted with instructions on how to vote even if, as required by the rules, you don’t live in America. It was pretty clear since it noted: “How to vote for Hinch on DWTS if you live outside the US” using a virtual private network (VPN) service that masks location.

IndyCar is embroiled in a “DWTS” mess that outshines even Lochte-related drama.

@ryan_long_01 tweeted: “I like how @IndyCar retweeted directions on how to cheat @DancingABC voting, including the #F-DaPolice Hashtag”
