In automobile endurance racing, three events have come to form aTriple Crown. They are considered three of the most challenging endurance races over the decades: the24 Hours of Daytona,12 Hours of Sebring, and24 Hours of Le Mans.[1][2] As of 2025 only 12 drivers have completed the Triple Crown by winning all three races,Phil Hill was the first do so in 1964, andNick Tandy is the most recent to do so in 2025.[3] No driver has won all three events in the same year.
Ken Miles lost the chance to win all three events in the same year when a problem with the Ford team orders for a photo finish made him lose the1966 24 Hours of Le Mans. This incident was dramatized in the 2019 filmFord v Ferrari. Miles died two months later testing the Ford J-car. In 2025,Laurens Vanthoor had similar results; he won atDaytona andSebring but finished second in the2025 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Hurley Haywood andAl Holbert have won all three races at least twice.
