Related: AR2.0E

The 2017 AutoReject 2.0 North America season was the first North American season of the AutoReject 2.0 series. This new series was born from the AutoReject 2.0 reformat and was created to develop a greater number of young racing talents. More changes came with the removal of the Winter Cup whilst introducing a feature and sprint race format along with a new points system. The new identity came as part of a partnership with the former International Formula Reject Challenge, which became AutoReject 3.5 for the 2017 season.

Roger Ibe won the drivers' championship, helping the People Power present Young CR Motorsport team to a runaway teams' title.
