Brian Vickers Issues 'Prepared for War' Statement After 2026 Epstein Files Link

Brian Vickers, 42, broke his silence Monday with a social media post saying he "had nothing to do with the mess left by others" and was "prepared for war" against threats to his family.
The statement followed the release earlier this year of 2026 Justice Department Epstein files that mention the former NASCAR driver in emails tied to his then-wife Sarah Kellen and his former team, Michael Waltrip Racing.
One email described "this NASCAR guy I like" as a "major playboy," while another report said an email with the subject line "Male Fairy Tale" was forwarded from Vickers to Jeffrey Epstein.
Kellen — also known as Sarah Kensington — worked as Epstein's assistant, received immunity in 2008, was subpoenaed last spring, and divorced Vickers in 2025 after more than a decade together.
Vickers, the 2003 Busch Series champion, won three Cup races in a 14-year top-series career and last raced in NASCAR in 2016.
