I don't have the rule book memorized, but contact and dangerous riding is normally a judgement call by the official. You normally won't see it written out verbatim.
I can can tell you going forward that USAC will be rolling out a Bad Rider program and software to support it for 2015. Any rider issues that have been reported to USAC will be available to any licensed official. However most rider discipline is handled locally via warning, relegation, and disqualification.
Track racing starts on page 50. 1N9 is in the general section on page 47. "No rider may hold back or pull an opponent by any part of his or her clothing, equipment or body.". It follows the Dangerous rider paragraph. The word pushing is spelled out verbatim and I have seen that rule applied in road races as well as the 1N8 on Dangerous Rider.
