Jay Leno had a frightening car accident while filming his new show at California's Irwindale Speedway. The Hemi Under Glass that the former "Tonight Show" host rode with famed drag racer Bob Riggle, 30, behind the wheel jolted and flipped several times before landing on its wheels.

The two men looked shaken but escaped the crash uninjured. "That was certainly exciting," Leno joked after paramedics checked them out. "It doesn't get more exciting than that." He added, "I actually do stuff like this every week. That's why I have so many cars. I roll half of them half the time."

"This has been on my bucket list ever since I was a kid, ever since [the car] stood up in 1965," the 66-year-old comedian said earlier in the "Garage" clip before the accident. "2,500 horse power ... what could go wrong?"
