List of NASCAR drivers who have won in each of top three series

The top three National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) national divisions are: NASCAR Cup Series, operating since 1949; Xfinity Series, operating since 1982; and Camping World Truck Series, operating since 1995. NASCAR drivers who have won in each of top three series are labeled Triple Threats.

Beginning with the inaugural season of the Truck Series in 1995, 36 drivers have accomplished the Triple Threat feat. The first driver to do so was Ken Schrader, with his Truck Series victory at Saugus Speedway on April 15, 1995. The most recent driver to accomplish the feat is Martin Truex Jr., with his Truck Series victory at Bristol Motor Speedway on March 29, 2021.

Triple Threats

Below is a list of 36 drivers who have won at least one race in each of NASCAR's three national divisions, through March 29, 2021.

The shortest time from first victory to Triple Threat, and the youngest driver to accomplish the feat, were both achieved by Kyle Busch, who scored his first victory in each series within a 16-month span from May 14, 2004 to September 4, 2005, completing the achievement at 20 years, 4 months of age.

While no driver has achieved all three of their first Triple Threat wins in a single season, seven drivers have gone on to subsequently accomplish a Triple Threat season: Terry Labonte (1995), Kevin Harvick (2003, 2010), Kyle Busch (2005–2011, 2013–2021), Denny Hamlin (2011), Brad Keselowski (2014), Joey Logano (2015), and Kyle Larson (2016).

With his win in the Truck Series race at Martinsville on April 9, 2005, Bobby Labonte became the first driver to complete a Triple Threat at the same track: 1992 Busch Winston Classic; 2002 Winston Cup Virginia 500; and 2005 Craftsman Truck Kroger 250.

With his win in the Cup Series race at Bristol on August 21, 2010, Kyle Busch became the first driver to complete a Triple Threat in the same weekend, winning the Bristol Motor Speedway-hosted: O'Reilly Auto Parts 200; Food City 250; and Irwin Tools Night Race. Busch repeated a one-stop Triple Threat – still the only driver to accomplish the feat – sweeping the three Bristol races on August 16, 18 and 19, 2017.

Showing only their first win in each of the top three NASCAR national divisions, the Triple Threat drivers are:

Driver championships in two of the top divisions

In the history of NASCAR (through the end of the 2020 NASCAR season), only nine drivers have accomplished championship seasons in more than one of the top three national divisions. Of these, six have championships in both the Cup and Xfinity Series, while three have championships in both the Xfinity and Truck Series.

The feat was first accomplished by Bobby Labonte, with a championship season in the 2000 NASCAR Winston Cup Series to go with his championship season in the 1991 NASCAR Busch Series (now Xfinity Series).

The quickest to accomplish this feat, from the start of his NASCAR career, is Austin Dillon, who started NASCAR racing in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East in 2008 and had won national championships in both the Xfinity and Truck Series by 2013.
