Pole Position Triple Threats
Below is a list of 36 drivers who have won at least one pole position 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:

List of historically black colleges and universities athletic programs
This list of historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) includes institutions of higher education in the United States that were established before 1964 with the intention of primarily serving the black community.

Alabama leads the nation with the number of HBCUs, followed by North Carolina, then Georgia.

The list of closed colleges includes many that, because of state laws, were racially segregated. In other words, those colleges are not just "historically" black, they were entirely black for as long as they existed.
