You guys need to first come to a consensus on what "fastest" means. Because the way I see it, Huck was the fastest marathon runner relative to top-speed, but not relative to average speed.
Some people don't grasp the concept of relativity, and more importantly, definition. You need to define what "fastest" means before you start arguing. Fastest speed? Fastest acceleration? Fastest rear-wheel rpms? Fastest time?
It's like arguing what the "fastest" car is. If you take a Ferrari (that does roughly, 220mph) and put it next to Ken Block's Ford rally car (0-60 in under 2 seconds), you'd have a hard time convincing someone that the Ford would be faster, until you tell them that the race is only 100 feet long down a gravel road. Yes, that Ferrari will do 220 mph, but not in 100 feet on dirt. It's all relative. Likewise, take that Ford rally car and put it up against the Ferrari at Indy, the Ford is probably gonna lose.

Fast and steady wins the race; the hare was slower than the tortoise, so he lost. And sigpig's eyes lit up. Now I understand! he said. Then he booted up Vital.
Edit: I read your comment on page 2 and it turns out I understood perfectly what you said, so I won't retract anything. I will clarify though and say If a rider doesn't show it, it might as well not be there. I'll also clarify and say speed is something you can gauge with your eyes, but you might need a radar gun.
These guys are saying if you don`t make a main even if you crash, you were not good enough to make it.
Well the SX champ missed the main once, was he not good enough to qualify???
This thread is dumb, there is so many variables.
...meanwhile, I think you say things like "it means nothing" to spite us, which is an uglier thing to do than what we're doing. If you told Baggett his fast lap means nothing, nada, zilch, he'd probably say he agrees, and then when you left he'd call you a douche and use that fast lap as motivation for his next race.
It's especially obvious that you're spiteful when all sorts of riders have been brought up in this thread (including whoever the OP was referring to) but you chose to focus on Stewart. I see you.
If you look at laps 2-8, BB had two laps in the 51's and crashed the lap after setting his fastest lap.
Dungey had 6 laps in the 51's the other was a 52.080. So is BB really the fastest guy on the track?

Who in this photo was the fastest rider at the end of the race?
It is not a trick question.
Good thing I wasn't drinking my coffee just then
since everything in between the start gate and the finish line is relative (and everything outside of those bookends is irrelevant) then failing to define the point in time (or distance) makes the question vague to the point that it has several possible answers.
here is another time/distance question that is so vague that it will get different answers.
"what color does the sky appear?" it completely depends on the exact timing that you observe it.
From RacerX Interview
Tomac: There’s been multiple races where I’ve been the fastest guy for one lap or in the heat race, but for the main event side I’ve struggled. Dungey’s obviously been the fastest guy through the twenty laps. He’s just been absolutely killing it.
There you have it. From gate drop to checkers the winner is the fastest and that's all that matters.
btw, the fastest rider is the one who reaches the highest mph.
