Former NASCAR driver Brian Vickers was mentioned in numerous documents from the latest Epstein files released Friday.
Vickers’ ex-wife, Sarah Kellen, was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in Epstein’s 2008 non-prosecution agreement and was later described as “criminally responsible” by a federal judge during Ghislaine Maxwell’s 2022 sentencing.
The most damning implication of Vickers’ apparent relationship with Epstein appears to be an email directly from Vickers to Epstein sent on February 14, 2019.

In an email with the subject line “I thought you’d like this,” Vickers sent an attachment with the message “Happy Valentines Buddy” and a winking face emoji. Epstein was found dead in his cell six months later.
Vickers also allegedly forwarded an email to Epstein on March 24, 2012, with the subject line “Male Fairy Tail.” The content of the email is sexually explicit.
Other emails include discussions about potential sponsorships. But that of a redacted sender to Epstein included apparent concerns from Michael Waltrip and another business partner stemming from negative stories about Epstein.
Representatives for Vickers and NASCAR did not respond to requests for comment.

Steve Tisch, co-owner of the New York Giants, was included in the records and appeared to have discussed the women with Epstein.
“We had a brief association during which we exchanged emails about grown women and, in addition, we discussed films, philanthropy and investments. I did not respond to any of his invitations and never went to his island. As we all know now, he was a terrible person and someone I deeply regret associating with,” Tisch said in a statement released Friday evening.
The publication Friday by the Ministry of Justice of more than 3 million documents linked to the investigation into Epstein included email exchanges from April 2013 to June 2013 between Tisch and the convicted sex offender.
Epstein was found dead in a Manhattan federal prison cell on August 10, 2019. His death was later ruled a suicide.

He faces up to 45 years in prison for crimes related to sex trafficking of minors.
Vickers won three Cup Series races during his career.
