Daniel Swervez

The **2017 Piston Cup Season** was the 74th season of the Piston Cup Racing Series.

## Changes

### New Rookies & Sponsors

2017 saw the rest of the stock cars get replaced by next gens. Rookies Michael Rotor, M'Fast Fong, Noah Gocek, Spikey Fillups, Rich Mixon, George New-Win, Will Rusch, Conrad Camber, Paul Conrev, and Sheldon Shifter, and Cruz Ramirez all debtued this season. This caused Buck Bearingly, Wayne Dasher, Dino Draftsky, Ralph Carlow, Reb Meeker, Brian Spark, Rev Roadages, Darren Leadfoot, Ponchy Wipeout, and Murray Clutchburn to either retire or be fired. Dinoco returned for the first time since Cal Weathers' retirement at the Virginia 400 with Ramirez after she beat Jackson Storm in the Florida 500.
