Pre-Season Changes
The Lowe Dollar Series introduced new technical regulations that saw the ST15 cars replaced by muscle car-style composite bodies provided by Cromwell Raceworks. The Saar Carolina, Lenard Cheyenne, Inglesby Bolero, Lycoia Interceptor, Calton-Morel Nova, and Kanako Serpent were introduced as the six participating models under these regulations.

The FARC-Off playoffs format from 2016 was dropped due to the financial and logistical strain placed on part-time teams and drivers who qualified for it, rather than oblige them to compete in more races than expected. The championship reverted to a traditional season-long winner-takes-all contest.

The historic Rockford 200 returned to the Lowe Dollar Series schedule for the first time since 2013.
