Erin Blaney styles her 4th of July weekend look with a white bikini top and matching shorts

Ryan Blaney's sister, Erin Blaney, rocked a matching bikini outfit in a new social media update. The 28-year-old is spending some time by a lake with the 4th of July weekend just around the corner.

Erin graduated from the University of Alabama with a bachelor's degree in human environmental sciences and currently serves as a community development specialist at Make-A-Wish Central & Western North Carolina. She is one of former NASCAR driver Dave Blaney's three children, along with Ryan and Emma.

In an Instagram post, Blaney, who has about 30,000 followers, shared a story donning a white bikini top and matching shorts. She posed with a lake view, with the photo finished in a black-and-white filter.

While she enjoys a lake trip ahead of the 4th of July weekend, her brother, Ryan Blaney, gears up for the Chicago street race. The 31-year-old enters the Grant Park 165 following a top-10 finish from last year's edition.

The Chicago street race is hosting the second round of NASCAR's In-Season Challenge. Unfortunately, Blaney was eliminated from the mid-season tournament due to a DNF from the previous race at EchoPark Speedway. Carson Hocevar beat him to the second round, with the two drivers having a friendly banter about their matchup.

The Grant Park 165 is happening on Sunday at 2:00 p.m. ET. As of this writing, NASCAR hasn't extended its contract with the track, suggesting the stock car racing series might be looking for other venues to host a street race.
