Brian Vickers unleashed a rare, cryptic statement via his social media accounts this week, seemingly referring to his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
Not the NASCAR update I was expecting to give today — the second week of ‘The Chase’ — but this is why you always have to have your head on a swivel in this job.
Vickers, 42, appeared all over a batch of released ‘Epstein Files’ earlier this year — all of them dating back to a time when he was an up-and-coming NASCAR star.
A 2003 Busch Series champion, Vickers divorced Sarah Kellen last year. Kellen used to work for Jeffrey Epstein as an assistant, was given immunity years ago, and was subpoenaed by the DOJ last spring.
The first time Vickers’ name is mentioned in the files is in an email presumably sent by Kellen, and talks about “this NASCAR guy I like” being a “major playboy.”

There are also several emails to and from Epstein involving Vickers’ race team at the time, Michael Waltrip Racing, about a potential issue with Vickers’ sponsor, and one particularly disturbing email that was forwarded from Vickers to Epstein with the subject line: “Male Fairy Tale.”

Vickers has remained largely silent throughout the entire saga, until earlier this week, when he fired off the following social media post:
“I have stayed quite for too long now,” he wrote Monday afternoon. “My hope that love would prevail in silence were not answered. I will say this only once. I walk in love for all my brothers and sisters. If this is not your path, I will meet you where you are. So that the rest my walk in peace.
“I had nothing to do with the mess left by others. If you can not see this you are part of the problem. I wish for peace and yet I am prepared for war against any that threaten my family walking in love. I wish most of all, to say thank you to all who understand and walk the same path.
“It is time to build a more gentle world together. But it will not start with tolerance for hate. With unconditional love, not unconditional bounderies.”

Not sure what prompted that above post, but it’s cryptic nonetheless.
Vickers and Kellen divorced in 2025 after more than a decade together.
Kellen is also known as Sarah Kensington. She was Jeffrey Epstein’s assistant back in the day. She’s been accused of, among other things, recruiting young women, arranging their travel, and scheduling “massages” for Epstein.
Judge Alison Nathan once listed her as “a criminally responsible participant” and the leader of Ghislaine Maxwell. She was one of four women to be granted immunity for the case in 2008.
Sarah and Vickers tied the knot back in 2015, right towards the end of Brian’s NASCAR career. Vickers broke into the Cup Series in 2003, and famously raced the old Red Bull cars during their brief run in the series. He always raced for Michael Waltrip Racing.
