I wrote a simple app to combine the 3 *.stn files into 1 text file.
This was before the patch.
It lets you select the 3 files you saved(Qual, Race, and the stats
part) then combines them into one text file using your first initial,
last initial, track abbrev. and car #. For example, Terry Labonte at
Dega, would select his 3 files, and it would combine them into 1 text
file named TL5Tal.txt. This file is written to your nascar2
directory, and deleted when you run your next dega race.
I also added a feature to copy the text file to your clipboard, so you
can simply paste it into the body of an email, and send your results
in.
I wrote it for the IGN league, to make sending in results easier.

unzip it to your nascar2 directory.
Its free, so use it if you want.
Those using the patch, can use the patched version :-) at
