Just days after NASCAR driver Daniel Dye received an indefinite suspension over comments he made during a live stream, another driver has now had attention drawn to him for his actions on social media.
Influencer Sara Blake, who has nearly 2 million followers on Instagram, held a Q&A session on Thursday with fans. Evidently, NASCAR driver Josh Bilicki sent her a message asking her where she was most ticklish.
Blake then screenshotted the question and shared it to her Instagram story, which was captured on Reddit, stating that while she loves NASCAR, she is not in the market looking for a NASCAR driver and she encouraged Bilicki to stay in his lane.
She followed that up with a longer post, which was later shared on Reddit, explaining that she has built a platform to help athletes build their brand and connect with their fans. Her account is not, however, sliding into her direct messages.
“Nowhere in that does it say, Slide into my DMs buddy and ask me some weird f****** s*** about where I’m ticklish at…I’m happily married….Just because you drive a NASCAR doesn’t mean I’m going to swoon…Don’t slide into my DMs with this dumb s***.”

Bilicki, age 30, is married, and he and his wife welcomed their first child in January 2025. The couple welcomed their second child earlier this year, though Bilicki was unable to be present for the birth due to a race weekend in Phoenix.
