== Career ==
Jerry was a wrecker for the first 5 races of 2003, but started turning it around, getting consistent top 15s and got 2 wins in the process toward the end of the season, where he finished a respectable eighth in the final standings. After running up front at Atlanta late in the year, bad strategy made him lose the lead to Asher Byron. He won the Daytona 500 in 2004 on a last lap pass on Eric Drew. He has been very consistent since the win in the 500 but is still looking for his second win of the year, which he got at Michigan. He tried to stay up toward the top, but a last ten races saw mediocre performance and caused him to finish ninth in the standings, a regression from last year's eighth. The 2005 season started off strong for Smith, as he got a quick win in a nail-biter at Las Vegas and followed that up with a second consecutive win in the destructive Capri-Sun 500 (renamed from Atlanta 500). After getting good runs to stay in the hunt, he got his third crown jewel win in the Coca-Cola 600 after holding off a charging Eric Drew in the final laps.
