Trust me... I've tried a couple times. Maybe this will give you an idea of why:
As fans, we've seen just how "clear as mud" NA$CAR's rules can be. Especially since we can't run out and buy the rulebook like we can for every other sport that's out there. NA$CAR says we can't but it because of trade secrets that are in the rulebook. Anyways, if their contract rules are as "grey" and subject to interpretation as the car rules are, it's no wonder things are messed up with sponsors coming into the series or changing their brand names. But, there is an up side to this. NA$CAR will have to release some of their "trade secret" information and probably have to open their ledgers in order to prove their case. This could get very interesting indeed. It seems like every time NA$CAR is threatened with having to open its' books and expose some of their "trade secrets", they settle out of court.

This is a new rule for that. No one can read the rules for nascar other than B. France. That rule will be in effect until they change the rules, NEXT WEEK. I hear that the rule book now weighs about 700 lbs so there is no way you can have one unless you own a fort lift to pick it up with. Thats a new rule. Each driver was given a new rule book but the rules state that they are not allowed to read them. Thats the rule. Also, if you have a Top Secret Clearance, have access to the vaults at Frot Knox, know B. Frances secret security code to his house, can recite the US constitution by heart, name all the world leaders, thier wifes, kids and grand-parents, you can put your name in a hat to have it drawn for the NEW rule book which will be given away when they rule on that. Now, what was your question?

I have seen a copy a couple years back but you as in general public can not obtain this unless you are planning on starting a team and need the guidelines. You would have set up a meeting with the board and prove to them that you are genuine in starting a team and have the financial backing and then you can purchase one not sure how much they cost. All tough most of the rules and guidelines are public knowledge so you can protest for the short book at anytime though it mainly contains rules for the race and conduct. Because you have to remember unlike other Auto racing NASCAR is a business not a sports club.

You can't. Access to the NASCAR rule book is closely controlled. Only certain members of the association can get a copy.

They are not available to the general public. I believe there is something about this on www.jayski.com that says they aren't available to the public and that the author of the site (which is one recognized by Nascar), can't get ahold of one either.

There was a copy of the COT rules for sale on e-bay a few weeks back, but I no longer have the link.

NASCAR doesn't even seem to have a set of rules. They seem to change from week to week and driver to driver.
