Here are the results of the Robot Racing competition:

Michael Schumacher Award (first place): Gus Jansson  -- total time: 8:10
Jeff Gordon Award (second place): Steve Putz  -- total time: 9:13
Dale Earnhardt Award (third place): Heidi Lovett  -- total time: 10:55

Special awards were also given out for special achievements.

Smokey Yunick Award (most innovative): Heidi Lovett
Kimi Raikkonen Award (hard luck): Mark Kenworthy
Paul Tracy Award (best crash): Doug Bell
John Force Award (funniest): Richard Mussler Wright

The Jacques Villeneuve Award wasn't given due to the lack of participants.
Perhaps next year?

Steve Putz has posted a couple of videos on youtube:
