They just run each other into the wall at 200mph when pissed off.

LAS VEGAS ? Texas Motor Speedway President Eddie Gossage says he was glad to learn that NASCAR has decided to loosen the reins on drivers this season, and as a result he has put up a ?reward? for any helmet tossed during competition.

?I?m offering $15,000 for any helmet thrown by a Cup series driver during a race between now and the April 6th Samsung 500,? Gossage said in a statement from TMS released Friday. ?I have a huge helmet collection from drivers through the years and it would be great to add to the collection.?

NASCAR officials said earlier this year that past on-track incidents involving participants in its Sprint Cup Series led to stiffer penalties for such infractions. As a result, fans have complained that much of the color and emotion has been removed from the sport.

Brian France, NASCAR CEO, said in January that officials were looking at the situation, ?and making sure that our policies of enforcement don?t make it where our drivers can?t express themselves.
