DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Danica Patrick will make her NASCAR debut this weekend at Daytona International Speedway.

Patrick will drive the No. 7 Chevrolet in Saturday's second-tier Nationwide Series race. The car is owned by JR Motorsports.

The decision announced Monday to race at Daytona was made after team officials dissected her stock-car racing debut in the ARCA race at Daytona on Saturday.

The Scottsdale resident overcame a midrace spin to finish sixth.

JR Motorsports has acquired the points from CJM Racing to ensure Patrick a spot in the field. CJM Racing finished 15th in the owner standings last season, but has suspended operations.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. will drive a second JR Motorsports entry in the Nationwide race.
