The race was held on Saturday, April 29, 2017, in Richmond, Virginia at Richmond Raceway, a 0.75 miles (1.21 km) D-shaped oval. The race was extended from its scheduled 250 laps to 254 due to a NASCAR overtime finish. At race's end, Kyle Larson, driving for Chip Ganassi Racing, would steal the victory on the final restart when the race would end under caution due to a wreck on the backstretch. The win was Larson's seventh career NASCAR Xfinity Series win and his second of the season.

The first round was 15 minutes, where every driver would be able to set a lap within the 15 minutes. Then, the second round would consist of the fastest 24 cars in Round 1, and drivers would have 10 minutes to set a lap. Round 3 consisted of the fastest 12 drivers from Round 2, and the drivers would have 5 minutes to set a time. Whoever was fastest in Round 3 would win the pole.
Daniel Hemric of Richard Childress Racing would win the pole after advancing from both preliminary rounds and setting the fastest lap in Round 3, with a time of 22.885 and an average speed of 117.981 miles per hour (189.872 km/h).
