We’ve all beaten Jimmie Johnson’s results to death by now. But there were plenty of other stories at the end of NASCAR’s 2009 schedule. Try a little NASCAR debate with Steve and Charlie, Fast Lap style.

Get the Flash Player to see the wordTube Media Player.

Turn 1 - Who will be first to win their fifth championship Jimmie Johnson or Jeff Gordon?

Turn 2 - What will spur larger crowds at NASCAR’s 2010 events?

Turn 3 - If Brad Keselowski is a “breath of fresh air” in the Cup field; what is Denny Hamlin?

Turn 4 - Could 2010 see no Rookie of the Year contenders?

Give us your take on these four, fast ones. Keep it short - preferably Twitter length - but bring the passion.

NASCAR Championship Fast Laps

NASCAR drivers don’t come much more dominant than Jimmie Johnson and Hendrick Motorsport’s no. 48 Lowes Chevrolet these last four years. Johnson’s NASCAR results may be drama killing, but they are still the topic of the week.

Check out the Fast Lap Show video this week. Then let us know what you think about these four, fast ones.

Get the Flash Player to see the wordTube Media Player.

Turn 1 - Now that Jimmie Johnson has his fourth consecutive championship will he be able to show more of his personality?

Turn 2 -Where does Hendrick Motorsports 1-2-3 points finish rank in importance in NASCAR history

Turn 3 - Which under-achieving organization has laid the best foundation for 2010?

Turn 4 - Where will the #48 team’s greatest competition come from in 2010?

The video tells you what we think. What do you think. And since this is supposed be fast, please limit your answers to Twitter length - 140 characters. We don’t have a way to count your input, so this is the honor system for now.
