The 2017 AAA 400 Drive for Autism was a Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race held on June 4, 2017, at Dover International Speedway in Dover, Delaware. Contested over 406 laps, extended from 400 laps due to overtime, on the 1-mile (1.6 km) concrete speedway, it was the 13th race of the 2017 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season.

To date, this race was the 83rd and most recent career win for seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson who retired from full time competition after the 2020 season. Johnson would return in the 2023 Daytona 500.
