The 2017 SKUSA Supernationals was the 21st edition of the SKUSA Supernationals scheduled to be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, from November 15 to 19, 2017.

The race clashes with the NASCAR finale weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway, with Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick, Martin Truex Jr. and Brad Keselowski going for the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup trophy on Sunday. The Xfinity Series and the Camping World Truck Series race their finale at Homestead on Friday or Saturday.

This is the IndyCar tour debut of Jirayu La-ongmanee. He joined IndyCar in the 2018 season after his participation in The Mask Singer Thailand as the Wolf Mask.
