Go back to the legs page and modify your GRD130/99 to GRD130/27. From that waypoint add direct to IRQ. If you look at the bearing to on the legs page, it may be off slighty from what ATC instructed, so consequently you can trim up the GRD pbd to match.
I'm pretty sure we have the same FMS as your CRJs, but there's an easier way to do this. Just type in "GRD130/IRQ050" and it'll do the point bearing to point bearing to get exactly what ATC wants.
