Papis and Skeen were in the last lap of a Camping World Truck Series race at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in Bowmanville, Ontario on Saturday when their vehicles collided. The crash enraged Skeen's girlfriend, who then caught up with Papis and slapped him in response.
Papis eventually finished the race in sixth place while Skeen ended up in 13th.
The two men slammed into the wall after their vehicles grazed one anothers.
Papis was quick to assign the blame to Skeen in the post-race interview.
"The six car [driven by Mr Skeen], I knew was going to do something, you know, not really sportsmanship, because that's what he did before... it was just an amateur move," Papis said to Fox Sports
Shortly after the interview, Skeen's girlfriend, Kelly Heaphy ran up to Papis and slapped him in the face with her right hand.
Papis also ridiculed Skeen on Twitter, calling him "not a man," in a series of Tweets that even addressed Heaphy. Papis also said his jaw was dislocated from the slap.
