Contested over 400 laps on the 0.75 mile (1.2 km) asphalt short track, it was the ninth race of the 2017 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season.

Joey Logano won the race, his 18th career win in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series, having done it from the rear of the field.

It did not count as a ticket to the Playoffs, which ultimately cost Logano a berth in the post-season, since he did not win again during the regular season nor point his way in.

[15] Kyle Larson was the fastest in the final practice session with a time of 22.675 seconds and a speed of 119.074 mph (191.631 km/h).

[16] Matt Kenseth led the field to the green flag at 2:16 p.m. Erik Jones made contact with Kasey Kahne exiting Turn 2 on the first lap, leading to a left-front tire cut and slamming the wall on the seventh lap of the race.

[17] Jones, after being released from the infield care center, said he and Kahne, were "three-wide right on the start and then the 5 ran us up into the fence.

I was trying not to wreck everybody and then a couple laps later the GameStop Prey Toyota Camry cut a left-front tire.

It’s not what we wanted, but we’ll just have to come back next week with another fast race car and try to run up front again.”[18] He went on to finish last.

The second caution flew on lap 65 when Ricky Stenhouse Jr. made contact with the wall in Turn 3.

[20] Chris Buescher, Kyle Busch and Dale Earnhardt Jr. restarted from the tail-end of the field for speeding.

With 43 laps to go, Earnhardt suffered a left-rear tire cut and spun out in Turn 3, bringing out the seventh caution.

[21] The race restarted with 30 to go and Joey Logano passed Keselowski exiting Turn 2 on the ensuing lap to take the lead.

Kyle Busch, commitment line violation, and Elliott, uncontrolled tire, restarted the race from the tail-end of the field for pit road infractions.

For me personally, it was kind of a cool milestone to hit and drive into victory lane with that, too.”[30] Hamlin, who finished a season best third, said after the race that third "was about as good as we had.
