Could use a section on the "actions detrimental to stock car racing" rule they always quote when they fine people. Recury 00:06, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

This artical is very poor. Needs lots of work. I came to find info on Qualifying, but found a very detaild description of saftey equipment, lots on how points are awarded and lots of anicdotes, but no real infomation on the rules and regs.

Also, should we realy be giving examples of how rules are enfoced using names and places? Yes, use theoretical examples to illistrate a point, but please, more on the rules, not there effect. 62.232.65.170

I don't have a problem with citing specific examples-- sometimes this helps to illustrate a point better than an abstract discussion. Also, sometimes a specific incident needs to be cited because it caused officials to change the rules, and this needs to be noted. However, the article could use external links to urls within nascar's web site that discuss the regulations. Finally, how about the engine displacement limit, and how it has changed over the years?versen 23:27, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Would like to see a link to the official rulebook. I can't seem to find one here or anywhere. Davidl9999 22:50, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

The official rule book is not public information. You can't link to it. You can't buy it.Mustang6172 22:00, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

That makes providing references laughable. Maybe I should just pull some NASCAR info out of my butt and post it. (jk) Davidl9999 20:25, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

That is the biggest load of nonsense I've ever heard, for gods sake the FIA provides the exact details of the entire F1 regulations for you to view, Nascar has nothing at all, which makes it seems amateurish. I wanted to find out about the tyre regulations but can't - how silly is that? Boothy m 13:32, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gear Rule

Under Gear Rule at the end of the article, it says that NASCAR is restricting what the tallest gear may be and and not permitting the use of overdrive gears in an attempt to reduce engine RPM's. How does shortening the gears reduce the engine RPM? If the car have the use a larger (shorter) gear ratio in order to achieve the same speed on the oval, the engine must be cranking out at a higher RPM. Acceptable (talk) 00:56, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
