The 2017 NASCAR Whelen Euro Series is the ninth Racecar Euro Series season, and the fifth under the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series branding. Anthony Kumpen enters the season as the defending champion in the Elite 1 class. Stienes Longin entered the season as the defending Elite 2 champion, but he will not defend his title as he moved up to the Elite 1 class.
Alon Day (pictured in 2013) won his first Euro Series title in 2017.
In the Elite 1 class, Alon Day won his first Elite 1 title, winning the championship by 53 points over Anthony Kumpen. In the Elite 2 class, Thomas Ferrando won his first Elite 2 title, finishing ahead of PK Carsport's Guillaume Dumarey by 91 points. Knauf Racing, represented by the No. 37 team, won their first (and only) team's championship title.
The season also included one non-championship event, the Trofeo Angelo Caffi, which was held at a temporary track that were laid down for the 2017 Bologna Motor Show and was won by Lorenzo Marcucci.
PK Carsports's Elite 1 driver Bert Longin left the series after three seasons to focus on his European Le Mans Series and Belcar campaigns. His seat was filled by his son Stienes who won the Elite 2 championship in 2016. In the Elite 2 class, Guillaume Dumarey joines the series.[1]
Brass Racing was forced to make a name change. As the name was EU registered by another company, the racing team is now called "Braxx Racing" for 2017.[7]
German endurance racing team Mishumotors made their NASCAR Euro Series debut in 2017.[2]
