| - C.W. "Skip" Smith (October 28, 1947 - ) is a former NASCAR driver from Williamsport, PA. He competed in seven Nationwide Series events in his career, mainly coming at the superspeedways. Smith's debut came during the 2001 season, when he competed at Talladega. It was a tough entrance for the driver, as he got caught up in the Big Wreck with thirty laps to go and finished in 36th. Smith stepped it up to a two-race schedule for the 2002 season, when he started the year back off at Talladega. This time, Smith avoided a massive pile-up that clogged the backstretch to wind up a career-best 14th despite overheating issues. He fared worse in his first start at Daytona a few weeks later, crashing to 30th after again getting caught up in the Big Wreck. Smith, undeterred, took a year out of the sport and stepped his program up to a three-race schedule for the 2004 season. Talladega again proved to be a bright spot for Smith, who stayed out of trouble long enough to earn a lead-lap 15th place finish. It was also his first race running at the finish. However, the pair of Daytona races proved troublesome for Smith yet again, as he crashed to 39th in both the February and July races. He also fielded cars for Bryan Reffner and Johnny Benson, Jr. for other races during the year. Smith's final career race then came during the 2005 season, when he competed at Daytona once again. But once again, it was a tough outing for Smith, as ignition failures doomed him to 37th.
