restrictor plates

When NASCAR races get dangerously fast, they slow the cars down with a diabolical device called a "restrictor plate." I wonder when they are going to be required on Interstate 75.

Actually, restrictor plates cause more wrecks, but the cars don't crash as hard. I suppose that helps ticket sales as well as protecting the drivers, but why do they still call it "racing?"
