Former NASCAR champion Brian Vickers posts cryptic message amid Epstein-related revelations

Brian Vickers, who won the 2003 Busch Series championship and raced for Michael Waltrip Racing, issued a cryptic social-media message early this week after years of silence about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The post referenced love, peace and a readiness to fight anyone threatening his family, hinting at the controversy surrounding his former wife, Sarah Kellen, an ex-assistant to Epstein who received immunity and was subpoenaed by the DOJ.

Vickers' name first surfaced in the released "Epstein Files" through an email from Kellen describing him as a "major playboy" and later through correspondence between Epstein and Vickers' race team. One forwarded email from Vickers to Epstein bore the subject line "Male Fairy Tale." Vickers and Kellen divorced in 2025 after more than a decade together. The driver’s recent statement did not explain what prompted it, leaving observers to speculate about its connection to the ongoing legal scrutiny of Epstein’s network.
