==Related terms== There have been efforts to come up with a similarly clever name for the potential fourth consecutive championship in the year following a three-peat. But attempts such as ''quat-row'' have thus far failed to catch on, and most fans simply use the term ''four-peat''. Since the term ''three-peat'' came into usage, however, only one team in major American sports has been able to achieve it β [[Hendrick Motorsports|Hendrick Racing]]/[[Jimmie Johnson]] [[NASCAR]] team, who won 5 championships in a row. The wordplay of ''three-peat'' is clearer if ''repeat'' is [[lexical stress|stress]]ed on the first [[syllable]]; this pronunciation is uncommon outside North America. Other English-speaking people may instead talk of a [[hat trick]] of championships, or simply a three-in-a-row. There are also terms for winning three trophies in the same season: *[[Triple Crown (disambiguation)|Triple Crown]] and [[Grand Slam (disambiguation)|Grand Slam]] β various sports *[[Treble (association football)]] The [[trifecta]] (also known as a tricast, triactor or tierce) is a concept in gambling in which a bettor successfully guesses the win, place and show in a particular race.
