The 2017 NASCAR Cup Series Energy Monster is the 69th season of a professional race car race in the United States, and the 46th season of the modern era series. The season begins at Daytona International Speedway with Advance Auto Parts Clash, a Can-Am Duel and 59th running qualification race from Daytona 500. This season ends with Ford EcoBoost 400 at the Homestead-Miami Speedway. Jimmie Johnson entered the season as defending champion, having won his seventh Cup of Fame championship he shared with Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt. Martin Truex Jr. of Furniture Row Racing won the championship, the first in the series. Toyota won the Manufacturers Championship for the second year in a row.
This is the third season of the current 10-year television deal with Fox Sports and NBC Sports and the second of a five-year racing agreement with all the tracks.
Monster Energy became the right sponsor for the series in 2017 after Sprint Corporation decided not to remain as a sponsor. Sprint has been a major sponsor since 2004 when their partner Nextel replaced Winston after the 2003 season but Sprint became the official sponsor for the 2008 season after buying Nextel in late 2005. Monster Energy is the third title sponsor for the NASCAR series since it was first established as a sponsor in 1971.
This is the last full season for some drivers; two-time Daytona 500 champion and two-time Xfinity Series champion Dale Earnhardt Jr., who announced his intention to retire at the end of the season, 2003 champion and two Daytona 500 champion Matt Kenseth, who announced he would take a break from sports, Danica Patrick and Landon Cassill. Kenseth will then return the following season to drive Roush Fenway Racing, while Cassill also gets a ride with StarCom Racing. It also marked the last season for ringer road-course Boris Said and two-time Daytona 500 champion Michael Waltrip. It was also last season's Chevrolet fielded Chevrolet SS, replacing it in 2018 with the Camaro ZL1.

Full schedule
The 2017 season introduced major changes to the race format and points system in the three national NASCAR series, announced during a press conference on January 23, 2017. Most races are split into three stages, with most races looking at the first two segments comprising about a quarter of the distance by the third stage being half distance. The only exception to the race is the Coca-Cola 600, which is divided into 4 100-lap stages. In case of bad weather, curfew, or darkness, the third segment can be canceled and the race becomes complete after the first two segments. Commemorative competitions are held at the end of each stage, in which the driver may choose to take a pit stop before the restart for the next stage. Hole stops at the end of each stage are optional and teams are at risk of losing track positions if they have a slow pit stop or if teams choose not to complain. In addition, the pit road was closed after the race leader crossed the start-finish line with 2 laps to go up to the stage.
10 top drivers at the end of the first and second stages receive championship points, are awarded on a scale down from 10 to 1. The overall winner of each race following the final stage receives 40 points, and the remaining drivers are awarded points on a down scale of 35 to finish 2 places, being 2 for 35, and 1 for 36 to 40. The winners of each stage also receive a "playoff point", and the overall winner receives five. For the first time since 1971, the Can-Am Dueling qualifying race for the Daytona 500 became a points-paying race; top-ten finishers in each of the two races receiving points.
After a regular season of 26 races, 16 drivers with the most wins, with championship points as tiebreakers, will qualify for the playoffs (re-branded from "Chase for the Championship"). At this point, 10 top drivers in the championship points standings will be awarded additional playoff points; regular season champions will receive 15, second position will receive 10, and the rest down from 8 to 1. If the drivers qualify for post-season, their championship points will be reset to 2000, and their playoff points will be added to this total. Playoff will continue to use the existing multi-play elimination format; playoff points will be brought through all but the last race of the season.
NASCAR executive vice president and head of racing development officer Steve O'Donnell stated that the new format is designed to "[put] a premium on every win and every position in the race during the season, each point can eventually win or lose the championship.
Damaged vehicle policy
On February 8, 2017, NASCAR announced a new Damage Vehicle Policy, which also applies in the 2017 season across all three national series. Cars can return to pit roads for up to five minutes for minor repairs if they are involved in accidents, including fixing metal sheets, use of fasteners and/or plaster to reinstall the body panels, and strengthen body panels. The five minute interval begins when the car crosses the pit commitment line, and ends after the car reaches the minimum speed after exiting the pit road; the car may return for a five-minute repair if further improvements are needed. If the car can not return to the pit road without assistance, the car is immediately considered to have retired from the race.
The crew may no longer replace the body parts of vehicles damaged by contact or accident. If the damage is significant enough that the car must be taken to the garage, more than six crew members are working in the car, or the five minute time limit expires, the car is automatically disqualified and unable to return to the race. If the driver commits a pit offense, 15 seconds is deducted from the repair time as a penalty. Mechanical or electrical failure not caused by an incident on the track is exempt from this rule; they can be repaired on pit road or in garage without time limit.
Senior competition vice-president Scott Miller explained that the new rule was intended to improve safety, explaining that "It's more about falling vehicles and everything involved with it, from crew guys to drivers to drop more debris on track , which always happens.So there are exceptions to mechanical failure, those things can be fixed in the garage.It will depend on the wisdom of the series director to make the call, but it will not be that difficult.This rule severely limits the ability to car back into the race several laps down in hopes of earning minimum points.
Technical changes
In addition to the new points system and stage structure, other rule changes are announced during the quiet season;
- The team must start the race using the same tires used during qualifying.
- Based on research use by Goodyear and NASCAR, tire allocations have changed for some races. The team will have a few more sets of tires for Daytona (500), Phoenix, Fontana, Martinsville (Spring), Bristol, Kansas, Kentucky, and Chicagoland. Homestead will have two less sets allocated, down from twelve. Talladega, Sonoma, Daytona (400), New Hampshire, Watkins Glen, and Darlington will have additional tires allocated.
- In response to speed improvements in Daytona and Talladega, the size of the limiting plate is reduced from 57/64 inches to 7/8 inches.
- For non-border plate races, the dimensions of the rear spoiler are reduced from 3 1/2 x 61 inches to 2 3/8 inches x 61 inches. The divider barrier (Daytona and Talladega) will continue to use the previous size (3 1/2 x 53 inches). However, in Kentucky and Michigan, the dimensions of the rear spoiler are 2 1/2 x 53 inches.
Security
Some vehicle safety changes are mandatory at all races, including the installation of revised steering columns, and a special garage-fueled coupler. Anti-intrusion coating, loose-release and board foam are also required on all plate boundary races, but are optional on all other races.
NASCAR partnered with the American Medical Response to form a travel medical team for this series. In addition, NASCAR has expanded the concussion protocol that will see drivers involved in accidents undergoing additional concussion tests before being allowed to return to the race track.
