If a racer in Funny Car, Top Fuel, Pro Stock, Pro Mod, or Mountain Motor Pro Stock can win all three events in the IHRA Triple Crown Series, they will take home a $1 million bonus. Tripp Tatum, Paul Lee, Taylor Dietsch, Jason Harris, and John DeFlorian will head to Maple Grove Raceway in September with that chance.
