TMZ Live: NASCAR Explosion -- Great for Ratings, But Too Dangerous??

TMZ Live NASCAR Explosion Great Ratings, But Too Risky?

The Daytona 500 came to a screeching halt after a massive jet fuel explosion ... that would have been even more spectacular -- if there was a decent shot of the wreck! What went wrong on TV ... and what did the NASCAR drivers ON the track think? One of 'em joins us, y'all.

Plus, Harvey's favorite person in the world ... Gladys Knight ... calls in to tell us what she REALLY thinks about her new "Dancing with the Stars" partner Tristan MacManus -- and Nancy Grace.

Also, shaving your foot bones just to fit into a pair of Jimmy Choos sounds like the dumbest idea ever -- but people actually do it, and guess which shoe hoarder here at TMZ wants it too?
