A precursor to the modern-day eNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational Series, the 2017 NASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational Series was a NASCAR-sanctioned esports series series featuring real-world NASCAR drivers. The season started at Iowa Speedway on August 30, 2017, and concluded at Homestead Miami Speedway on October 13, 2017. Races were hosted on 'NASCAR Night' before select 2017 NASCAR Peak Antifreeze Series races and featured short, sprint-length races. All races used the NASCAR Xfinity Series cars.

Schedule

The 2017 schedule was released on August 29, 2017. Races took place at 8:00 pm ET as part of NASCAR Night branded doubleheaders, with NASCAR Peak Antifreeze Series races following them at 9:00 pm ET. Select drivers from the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR Xfinity Series, NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, and NASCAR K&N Pro Series were invited to participate.
