context_section_description: On February 18, 2017, Theriault won his second ARCA race in the season opener at Daytona International Speedway. The race was shortened by five laps after a red-flag was brought out for Justin Fontaine's flip, while rain forced ARCA officials to call the race. In late August, he won at Road America after sorting through two last-lap incidents. He also won the following race at DuQuoin after taking advantage of a late restart, and won the three-peat at Salem driving a Jack Bowsher throwback car. On September 22, 2017 Theriault won at Kentucky Speedway and mathematically clinched the ARCA Racing Series championship for 2017. He won the championship on the strength of seven wins.
