Triple Crown (IndyCar)
The Triple Crown (sponsored by Fuzzy's Ultra Premium Vodka since 2013 [1]) is a "championship" consisting of three 500 Mile Super Speedway races on the IndyCar calendar. A driver is only recognized as a "Triple Crown Champion" if he/she wins all three races in the same year; Al Unser being the only driver to do so during the 1978 IndyCar Season. Some years, partial prize money has been awarded to a driver who wins two out of the three races. Even though three super speedways and three 500 mile races have been featured in many seasons, only in 1971–1980, 1981–1989, and 2013–Present, were "Triple Crowns" recognized.
