The race was held on Saturday, June 17, 2017, in Brooklyn, Michigan at Michigan International Speedway, a two-mile (3.2 km) permanent moderate-banked D-shaped speedway. The race took the scheduled 125 laps to complete. At race's end, Denny Hamlin, driving for Joe Gibbs Racing, would win in a close finish on the final restart with two to go.^[1] The win was Hamlin's 16th career NASCAR Xfinity Series win and his first win of the season. To fill out the podium, William Byron and Elliott Sadler, both driving for JR Motorsports, would finish second and third, respectively.

The race was held at Michigan International Speedway, a two-mile (3.2 km) moderate-banked D-shaped speedway located in Brooklyn, Michigan. The track is used primarily for NASCAR events. It is known as a "sister track" to Texas World Speedway as MIS's oval design was a direct basis of TWS, with moderate modifications to the banking in the corners, and was used as the basis of Auto Club Speedway. The track is owned by International Speedway Corporation. Michigan International Speedway is recognized as one of motorsports' premier facilities because of its wide racing surface and high banking (by open-wheel standards; the 18-degree banking is modest by stock car standards).

Qualifying was held on Saturday, June 17, at 10:00 AM EST.^[2] Since Michigan International Speedway is at least 2 miles (3.2 km), the qualifying system was a single car, single lap, two round system where in the first round, everyone would set a time to determine positions 13–40. Then, the fastest 12 qualifiers would move on to the second round to determine positions 1–12.^[5]

Kyle Busch of Joe Gibbs Racing would win the pole, setting a time of 37.197 and an average speed of 193.564 miles per hour (311.511 km/h) in the second round.^[6]

No drivers would fail to qualify.
