Since I have not received any suggestions to fixing this problem using B-Tony's Empty-2009-Mod, I have spent the past week or so trying to figure out why the first track did not have the cars and drivers matching. I tried another track in slot 1 with the same results. If anyone else is using Tony's Empty 2009 Mod to create a personal 2010 or 2011 mod here is what I had to do to get the mod to show the cars with the proper drivers in the game.
FIRST. Download the 2010 performance files and place in Data\Performance folder. You will have to rename the individual track performance files 2010-Monaco, etc. Remove the 2009-tracks.
SECOND. Open Data\Tweaker\gp4tweak_Data folder. Open numcars.txt, and change tracks listed to correct order.
THIRD. Open Data\Tweaker\Gp4tweak_Data folder and open any other .txt file, with Notepad, and change tracks to correct order.
FOURTH. Open Data\Files\Merge and open with Notepad, the gpxset.txt file. Use Notepad and change Path =gpxdata\2010-%trackname%.txt from Path =gpxdata\2009-%trackname%.txt.
At present, most important to do FIRST and FOURTH steps.
This has solved my issues with having the cars and drivers match in the game
