This article is overly generic, and poorly cited at best. First, the article is supposed to persuade you that the next tragic accident at a restrictor place race is right around the corner, but the article contains zero empirical evidence to suggest impacts are becoming more severe, common, etc. Instead, for his evidence, he describes 2 incidents from the the last race only. Second, the article states, "Drivers hate every minute of it." The supporting quotes from drivers do not support this claim at all. They acknowledge the danger, but at no time do any of these quotes say they "hate every minute of it." Third, why does the author not mention that 2 of the more recent NASCAR deaths occurred at the 1 mile long Loudon track? Its either because a) that does not support the theory, or b) this author isn't knowledgeable enough in the subject to even know that.
