strong gas vapors from oil dipstick tube

When I take the oil dipstick out, there is a very strong odor of gasoline. This appears to happen after the car has been running for about 30 minutes at 3500 rpm continuously. At the same time, the car starts to stutter and miss. I've done a compression check and each cylinder is at least 130, maybe more if I could get the damn compression meter to screw in more tightly.
So, what exactly does gasoline vapors in the crankcase mean? How would it get in there?
Thanks,
Rob
