Regan Smith, driver of the No. 78 Furniture Row Racing Chevrolet in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, is scheduled to meet fans and sign autographs at the new Furniture Row Shopping Center in Charlotte, North Carolina on Wednesday, March 2, 2011.

Smith was a threat to win the 2011 Daytona 500, leading the race with four laps to go before contact with another car sent him spinning. Smith finished seventh in the Great American Race.

The New York native qualified fifth for last Sunday's Subway 500 in Phoenix and was running in the top-15 when he was collected in the "Big One" on lap 67.

Wednesday's autograph session will be held in Oak Express in the Furniture Row Shopping Center, located at 8215 Ikea Blvd. in Charlotte, from 6:00 p.m. until 7:30 p.m.
