Patrick to make NASCAR debut at Daytona
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) Danica Patrick will make her NASCAR debut this weekend at Daytona International Speedway.

The team had left the option to race up to Patrick, who wanted to assess her first race before deciding whether to enter one of the most prestigious Nationwide races of the season.
