Pancho won the first triple crown.

Congrats to Jerry Cooons Jr. and the Hoffman and his SC team. Great job guys and Gals, ALL OF YOU!

AJ won the USAC National Championship, Sprint Championship and Stock Car Championship, all by 1972 I think.

Jerry

Jerry, you sir are correct.

It was done again the next year by another legend. Anyone care to guess at whom that might be? (Hint: He lived about 10 miles from the hospital Jerry was born in).

Roger McCluskey.

Congrats to Jerry and family, and both the Sprint and Champ Car teams!:respect:
Thought from day one that Rob made a wise choice with Coondog as his "fulltime" driver. The awards from both Championships should pay for a couple of packs of diapers....

That was one hell of a race. He just seemed to get that car to work on the high groove; man, what a show.

Once again correct, and technically AJ has won Championships on 4 National USAC divisions including the following years:

Sprints (1960)
Stock Cars (1968)
Silver Crown (1972)
Gold Crown (1979)

I am going to have three corndogs tonight for dinner to celebrate! :respect:

Way to go CORNDOG Jr.

IMHO, there are two USAC Triple Crown winners -- Tony Stewart and J.J. Yeley. They won all three titles in the same year.
Winning three championships in three different USAC divisions is a tremendous accomplishment. But doing it in different years is not a Triple Crown.

Congratulations to Jerry Cooooons Jr., for proving his versatility by claiming national championships in three different divisions during his career. He joins a very elite group of people.
