MOORESVILLE, N.C. -- Danica Patrick will not make her NASCAR debut at Daytona International Speedway, and instead will wait one
week and attempt to race in the Nationwide Series race in California.

The IndyCar star and Scottsdale, Ariz., resident is still finalizing her NASCAR schedule, which is expected to be 13 Nationwide races for JR Motorsports.

JRM co-owner Kelley Earnhardt says Patrick will try to make the Nationwide races at Auto Club Speedway on Feb. 20 and the Feb. 27 race at Las Vegas.

Her stock-car debut will come in the Feb. 6 ARCA race at Daytona.

She will test that car this weekend.
