The 2017 Kjærgaard Danish FIM Speedway Grand Prix was the fifth race of the 2017 Speedway Grand Prix season. It took place on June 24 at the CASA Arena in Horsens, Denmark.[1]
First reserve Peter Kildemand replaced Nicki Pedersen, who was injured and not fit to race. The Speedway Grand Prix Commission also nominated Kenneth Bjerre as the wild card, and Andreas Lyager and Frederik Jakobsen both as Track Reserves.
The Grand Prix was won by Poland's Maciej Janowski, who beat Emil Sayfutdinov and Patryk Dudek in the final.[2] Jason Doyle had initially top scored during the qualifying heats, however he finished last in the final despite his broken foot. It was second successive Horsens win for Janowski, and it lifted him to third in the overall standings - seven points behind joint leaders Doyle and Dudek.
