The 2017 Johnsonville 180 was the 23rd stock car race of the 2017 NASCAR Xfinity Series season, and the eighth iteration of the event. The race was held on Sunday, August 27, 2017, in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin at Road America, a 4.048 miles (6.515 km) permanent road course. The race took the scheduled 45 laps to complete. Jeremy Clements, driving for his family owned team, Jeremy Clements Racing, came home with the upset win, after an exciting battle with Matt Tifft. With two laps to go, Clements and Tifft collided, causing them to both spin out.
