Yowch. NASACAR driver Max Papis was assaulted by the irate girlfriend of rival driver Mike Skeen at a race on Sunday. The impact apparently dislocated his jaw. Here’s the Vine in case you missed it:

Known for his own short fuse, Papis kept his calm and instead took to Twitter to share his thoughts on the incident and joke with fans and fellow racers.
