Sara Blake, a model with almost 2 million followers on Instagram, claimed during a Q&A session on Thursday with fans that a married NASCAR driver slid into her DMs with a flirty message.
Blake shared a screenshot of the message she claims came from NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series driver Josh Bilicki on her Instagram story. In it, Bilicki, 30, supposedly wrote, “Where are you most ticklish?”
On the screenshot, Sara Blake wrote, “I said I love NASCAR… Not that I was in the market looking for a NASCAR driver… Stay in your lane bud.”
Sara Blake made a video to expound on her allegations against Josh Bilicki
Blake followed that post up with a video, which was later shared on Reddit. In that, she stated that she uses her platform to help athletes connect with their fans and build their brands, not hooking up with NASCAR drivers.
“I built a platform for athletes, to be able to monetize on their brand but also to connect with their fans because that’s what I did for my career,” Blake said. “They have a bigger platform that can change our youth’s lives and theirs. Nowhere in that, does it say, ‘Slide into my DM’s buddy and ask me some weird f—— s— about where I’m ticklish at.
“You got your cowboy pillow s— you can talk to and flirt with that might think that that’s cute. But, I’m happily married. I’m a big girl and take care of myself. Just because you drive a NASCAR doesn’t mean I’m going to swoon. I don’t give a f— if you played in the NBA, NFL. I don’t care who you are. Don’t slide into my DM’s with this.”
Josh Bilicki has not yet responded to Sara Blake’s claims. In his NASCAR career, Bilicki has run 107 races over nine years in the Cup Series, He has also competed in 132 races over 11 years in the O’Reilly Series, and 13 races over five years in the Craftsman Truck Series. He has one top 10 finish in Cup, four in the O’Reilly Series, and two in the Truck Series.
On March 12, Bilicki announced on Instagram that his wife gave birth to the couple’s second son while he was racing in Phoenix.
