Max Papis gets slapped by Mike Skeens WAG, Kelly Heaphy [BWO Gifulmination]
The slap by Heaphy was so violent that it “dislocated my jaw,” according to Papis.
Papis took up the issue with the sanctioning body following the race and hasn’t ruled out legal action.
“I got out of the truck and got assaulted by some of the mechanics of the 6 truck,” Papis said. “That was really poor as well. I just didn’t want to create extra problems. I got out of the truck and went to talk to this kid — but he didn’t want to stand up for his own issues. I got out, and this lady came running up to me and she started screaming and hit me so hard that she dislocated my jaw. But I’m not hitting anyone, especially a lady.
“This was a wife or, whatever, a girlfriend of that kid. I thank my wife for being cool about this stuff. That was between me and that guy right there — I don’t even know his name — the 6 driver. It was not between the crew. It was not between me and his girlfriend, wife, whatever she was. I’ve got to think about what I want to do here. I talked to NASCAR about it, and I’m not very happy about what happened there. I don’t know.
"I might consider something about pressing charges — it’s not good. What she did is not good. I didn’t like that at all. I went to NASCAR and talked to them.”
“It’s not something that I would have encouraged,” Skeen said. “But it happened. I figure her temper got the best of her. He was saying some pretty nasty stuff on TV, and she felt it was unjustified.”
That deal was only between me and #6 driver we could have solved it alone ...but I guess he needed some ...help !!!!
