Leffler: 17th
Riggs: 25th

Jack Roush post-race statement-It could've been worse for these guys. Overall, we ran a pretty clean race today. J.R. got knocked out before he even completed a lap which is a real shame, but it is what it is. I just wish Greg could've avoided having that issue. We're still not 100% sure what it was, but we think it had to do with fuel pressure because he was still able to get to full speed, just not right away and he probably had knocked something loose hitting one of those curbs. I'll be honest, I haven't been down there yet and talked to them and am only saying what I heard over the radio, so we'll just have to analyze everything back at the shop and make sure it doesn't happen again.
Carl Edwards post-race-Pretty happy with the performance today. The car was a little bit inconsistent and we had a bad pit stop that probably cost us a top 10, but I also made mistakes and curbed it too much quite a few times. We got a 5 point bonus there for leading a lap and breaking up the Hendrick party, so I guess you can consider that an accomplishment considering how strong those guys were today.
Matt Kenseth post-race-I'm thrilled to get out of here with a 14th. Everyone that pays attention knows that I suck at road courses, so a lot of the credit goes to the Killer Bees and the rest of the DeWalt team for giving me a fast car and getting me spots on pit road. We're still not where we want to be in points, but we avoided catastrophe which was the main goal.
Todd Kluever post-race-I'll take a 23rd. I'm not very good at road courses, so the fact that we were able to keep it clean and have a consistent day is huge.
Greg Biffle post-race-It really sucks that we were on the pit cycle that we were on. We had something weird happen there early and I still don't know what it was. It felt like I had no fuel pressure but that would've been pretty serious and we would've had to go behind the wall for that, so that wasn't what the problem was. We'll have to figure that out cause it cost us pretty dearly there. We should've run top 20 but we just have to regroup for next week.
J.R. Fitzpatrick post-race-I guess I can't complain too much since I'm not running for points in this but I can't sit here and talk to you guys without saying that Robby Gordon is an idiot. He tried to be a hero in turn 5 of lap 1 and ended up completely curbing it and taking himself and myself out of the race before the end of the first lap. Totally unprofessional. Everyone likes to say that he's great at these places, but he looked like a complete amateur out there today.

Anybody have any feedback on the race summary format or should I just stick with an article style presentation? Screenshots: German Quiroga Jr. leads the field to the green flag in his first career start.  A quartet of drivers tangle in turn 5 of the first lap.  Tony Stewart gets off course and into the tire barrier.  Travis Kvapil brings out the only caution of the day by hitting the pit road entrance wall.  Elliott Sadler is struck by Terry Labonte while spinning through turn 5.  Kevin Harvick skids onto pit road after clipping the entrance wall.  Jeff Gordon cruises to his 75th career victory in the inaugural Canadian Tire Challenge.  |

I think you should do a lap-by-lap presentation, as long as it's easier for you. Yea, I like it better, but you'll be doing this for (hopefully) a long time, and if it takes three times as much work, you're gonna get burnt out.

Brendan - ever thought about graphics fixing? It helps--A LOT.

Yeah, I really need to get my machine checked out lol. This race I think it was just the track, because I've never had cars be blurry like that. Part of it is because half the cars are low-res from Team SBR so naturally they aren't gonna look all that good in-game, but I do need to look at graphics fixes. I've got all the settings maxed, so if you know any threads that are particularly helpful send a link my way.
