The 1997 Goody's Dash Series season was a NASCAR touring season held from February 14, 1997 to November 9, 1997 composed of twenty-one races. College sophomore Mike Swaim, Jr. claimed the crown after a streak of four consecutive victories in May put him in control. Intriguingly, that would be the only four races he would win all year. He beat out Brian Sockwell, the series leader in wins, by 138 points. Former series champs Will Hobgood (two wins) and Robert Huffman (three wins) finished third and fourth in points respectively. Rookie of the year Charles Powell, III finished sixth in points after taking one victory himself. Other winners on the year included first-time winners Scott Weaver and Christian Elder, Danny Bagwell, and former series champ David Hutto, who amassed three wins despite returning to the series with just six races to go.
