Buren Skeen (September 28, 1936- September 13, 1965) was a NASCAR driver from Denton, NC. He competed in eight Nextel Cup Series events in his career, earning three top-tens.
All of those races came in 1965, when Skeen finished 60th in points. His debut went miserably, finishing 30th at North Wilkesboro after transmission woes. But then Skeen improved over the next two races, finishing 9th at Martinsville and then a career-best 5th at Winston-Salem. Skeen would add a 7th in another race later in the year at Winston-Salem, but four DNFs in five races were capped when Skeen was tragically killed in the Southern 500.
