PHOTOS: Tony Unhurt After Go-Kart Flips

NEW YORK -- Tony Danza got quite a scare when he and NASCAR star Rusty Wallace were racing go-karts during the taping of a segment for the nationally syndicated "The Tony Danza Show."

Danza was leading as they entered the final lap on West 66th Street Monday morning, the show said. After Wallace gave Danza's vehicle a little "bump and run," the 54-year-old talk-show host lost control of his go-kart, which flipped over.

"Although slightly worse for wear, Danza escaped with no injuries," the show said in a statement.

Wallace, who rushed to Danza's side after the crash, said, "I thought I killed ya," to which Danza responded, "Yeah ... just before you retire, 'I killed Tony Danza.'"

"I know you're tough, but that (was) ridiculous, man!" Wallace was quoted as saying.

The "DayTony 500" segment aired on Monday's show.

Thank god he wasn't hurt

Shouldn't you wear helmets when you race go-karts? Tony could've had his neck snapped when his go-kart flipped over.

I'm so glad he's alright. That was a close call!

That guy is so accident prone. Didn't he take a bad fall while rollerblading on the show a few months ago?

Yes he did. I was just reading about the roller blading fall a couple of days ago. And he also had that really bad sking accident back in the early 90s. Pooor guy.

Wasn't he in a car accident in the 1970s as well? It was before his days on Taxi (1978). Maybe I heard it wrong...

I don't recall hearing about a car accident in the 70s, but he could have and I just don't know about it.
