It's finally Daytona Day - the race starts at 1 p.m. ET on FOX - which means it has been a full year since NASCAR on FOX reporter Jamie Little accidentally smacked WWE star John Cena with her ponytail on pit road.

Cena, who served as the honorary pace car driver for the race, somehow went completely unnoticed by Little, and Cena was stunned when he took a shot to the chin.

In retrospect, it's surprising that AJ Styles didn't employ this tactic in one of his matches with Cena last year.
