Fifteen-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion John Cena was at the Daytona 500 Sunday to be the honorary pace car driver and he performed his duty well.

But that wasn’t the only highlight of his day.

Cena was apparently invisible to FOX’s Jamie Little, who accidentally whipped him with her ponytail while walking past him, live on TV, during the pre-race grid walk on pit road. Little was filling in for Michael Waltrip, who normally performs the pit road assignment—interviewing drivers and any celebrities just before the race begins. Watch the clip here:

Cena, who is 6-foot-1 and weighs 250 pounds, is not any easy person to miss. Still, he had a little fun on Twitter with the whole thing.

For those who question my powers of complete stealth, ask @JamieLittleTV #shecantseeme @FOXTV @NASCARONFOX @NASCAR @WWE @espn #itreallyworks
