Triple Crown of motorsport - wikipedia Triple Crown of motorsport Graham Hill ( pictured in 1969 ) is the only driver to have completed the Triple Crown The Triple Crown of Motorsport is an unofficial motorsport achievement, often regarded as winning three of the most prestigious motor races in the world in one 's career : the Indianapolis 500 the 24 Hours of Le Mans the Monaco Grand Prix For eleven years ( 1950 -- 1960 ) Monaco and Indianapolis were part of the FIA World Championship of Drivers ( now synonymous with Formula One ) but in 1961 Indianapolis was dropped from the World Championship series. Graham Hill is the only driver to have completed the Triple Crown. 19 drivers in motorsports history have competed in all three legs of the Triple Crown and have won at least one of the events. Juan Pablo Montoya and Fernando Alonso are the only active drivers to have won two of the three events.

Endurance racing Endurance sports car racing has its own Triple Crown which features Le Mans and has added the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring. This crown has been won by several drivers, namely A.J. Foyt, Hans Herrmann, Jackie Oliver, Jacky Ickx, Al Holbert, Hurley Haywood, Mauro Baldi, Andy Wallace, Marco Werner and Timo Bernhard. Many drivers have come close to winning the crown with 2nd - place finishes in the third event, such as Ken Miles ( who was famously denied the win by a technicality at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans ), Mario Andretti ( Le Mans 1995 ) and Allan McNish ( Daytona 2012 ). IndyCar racing Further information : Triple Crown ( IndyCar ) In the period 1971 -- 1990, Indy car racing contested their own Triple Crown. From 1971 - 1980 it consisted of the three 500 - mile events on the calendar : the Indianapolis 500, Pocono 500, and California 500. Al Unser ( 1978 ) is the only driver to win all three in the same season. Ontario Motor Speedway was closed in 1980, and the California 500 was replaced with the Michigan 500. The triple crown continued through 1989, after which the Pocono race was discontinued. No driver won all three events during the 1980s. The IndyCar Triple Crown was revived in 2013, with the 1971 -- 80 format of the Indianapolis 500 ( in May ), Pocono IndyCar 400 ( in July ), and the MAVTV 500 ( in October, held at Fontana ). A $1 million bonus prize is offered for any driver to win all three races. For 2014, Pocono returned to the 500 - mile format, Fontana was moved to the season ending race in August and all three events awarded double championship points. Since the California 500 's return under IndyCar sanction, it has been a night race. In 2015, Fontana will move to July, while Pocono will be the penultimate race of the season in August. Of all variations of the IndyCar Triple Crown, only five drivers have achieved the feat over their career, with Al Unser the only one to achieve it in a single season. NASCAR Since 2005 an unofficial Triple Crown, formed of the three surviving legs of NASCAR 's Grand Slam ( the Daytona 500, Aaron 's 499, and Coca - Cola 600 ) after the Ferko lawsuit took out the final leg ( Darlington 's Southern 500 in the autumn -- not to be confused with the Rebel 500 in May ) in favour of a second race at Texas Motor Speedway, has been established. No driver who made their first start in a NASCAR Sprint Cup race since 2005 has won more than one of the three jewels. So far, of active drivers, Kevin Harvick and Jimmie Johnson have won all three legs of the Triple Crown, but not all three in the same year. Even when Darlington 's sole race returns to Labor Day weekend in autumn since 2014, neither of them have won in that time slot. NHRA The term is often used during the season in the National Hot Rod Association to refer to its three most prestigious races, the Winternationals, the U.S. Nationals, and the Finals. The Winternationals is the event that kicks off the NHRA season, held during the second weekend in February, the U.S. Nationals is often called `` The oldest, richest, and most prestigious race in the NHRA, '' and carries the largest purse of any event on the schedule, and the Auto Club Finals at Pomona are held to mark the end of the NHRA season. Both the Winternationals, and the Auto Club Finals are held on the same track, Auto Club Raceway at Pomona, while the U.S. Nationals has been held at Lucas Oil Raceway in Indianapolis since 1961 ( prior to that, the race was held on a now demolished track in Detroit ). By far, the person with the most Triple Crown wins in his division is 16 - time funny car champion John Force. American motorsport A.J. Foyt and Mario Andretti are the only drivers to have won both the Indianapolis 500 and the Daytona 500. Both drivers also won the 24 Hours of Daytona and 12 Hours of Sebring. Foyt won four editions of the Indianapolis 500, and collected seven open - wheel titles and a 24 Hours of Le Mans win. Mario Andretti won three editions of the 12 Hours of Sebring, the 1969 Indianapolis 500, and also won four open - wheel titles, a Formula One world championship, and a class win and 2nd overall finish at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Australian motorsport In Australia, a driver is said to have achieved the `` Triple Crown '' if they win the Sandown 500, the Bathurst 1000 and the International V8 Supercars Championship ( formerly the Australian Touring Car Championship ) in the same year. Only two drivers have achieved this feat : Peter Brock in 1978 and 1980 and Craig Lowndes in 1996. Active competitors who have completed two legs of the Triple Crown As of June 2018, the only active drivers who have won two legs of the Triple Crown are Juan Pablo Montoya and Fernando Alonso. Montoya won the 24 Hours of Daytona three times and the CART series once while Alonso competed in 2017 's Indy 500, but retired on Lap 179 of 200 due to engine failure.
