According to reports published in the U.S, Danica Patrick will most likely move to NASCAR full-time in 2012 and won't be coming back to IndyCar except for running the Indy 500.

The plan is to finalize a deal that would have her run the full Nationwide schedule as well as a few Cup races before making the move to the top series in 2013.

Sources close to the deal are saying that Patrick would compete in the Indianapolis 500 next year.

As far as details regarding with which team she would be competing for next year are still being finalized but it seems that her major sponsor, Go Daddy.com, is expected to stay with her if she moves to NASCAR full-time.

Patrick's contracts with both Andretti Autosport in the IndyCar Series and JR Motorsports in the Nationwide Series end after this year.

Danica Patrick is represented by IMG, one of the biggest sports marketing firms in the U.S.
