2017 NASCAR Coca-Cola Cup Series (Johnsonverse)

The 2017 NASCAR Coca-Cola Cup Series was the 69th season of professional stock car racing in the United States, and the 46th modern-era Cup series season. The season began at Sonoma Raceway with the Toyota/Save Mart 350, followed by a two-week stop at Daytona International Speedway with the Busch Clash, the Budweiser Twin 125's qualifying races and the 59th running of the Daytona 500. The season ended with the Los Angeles Times 500 at Ontario Motor Speedway. Tony Stewart entered the season as the defending champion. Chase Elliott of Hendrick Motorsports won the championship, his first in the series.

This was the third season of the current 10-year television contract with Fox Sports, NBC Sports, and WBC Sports, and the second of a five-year race sanctioning agreement with all tracks.

This was the last full-time season for Danica Patrick, who announced her intention to return to IndyCar for the 2018 season. It also marked the last season for road-course ringer Boris Said and two-time Daytona 500 winner Michael Waltrip.

The final calendar – comprising 43 races, as well as exhibition races, which are the Advance Auto Parts Clash, Can-Am Duel qualifying duel races for the Daytona 500 and the All-Star Race – was released on May 5, 2016. At the beginning of the 2017 season, Rockingham Speedway will host NASCAR's 2,500th race, one week after the Daytona 500.
