Running your car at a high RPM can cause the temperature to rise rapidly, and if not cooled properly the engine will overheat. Heat creates lots of pressure due to particles increasing in energy. Eventually, if ran on low oil or other coolant, the heat will cause too much pressure to build up and the head gasket will blow.

How can you tell the head gasket is worped?
Head gaskets do not warp, they blow. Heads warp. If you see white smoke from the exhaust, coolant in the oil, which will make it look milky, a white foamy substance on the underside of the oil fill cap, & loss of coolant with no apparent leak, you more than likely have a blown head gasket, cracked or warped head, or both. The only way to find out is to remove the head. But before you do that have a compression test run.
