Brian Vickers won the NASCAR Xfinity Series championship in 2003. A year later, he joined Hendrick Motorsports as a full-time driver, where he recorded four top-10s and finished 25th in the final season standings.

In 2006, the then-22-year-old scored his first Cup victory in the fall race at Talladega. Over the next decade, he achieved some success, including a pair of wins at Michigan in 2009 and New Hampshire in 2013.

In between those trips to Victory Lane, Vickers began experiencing health problems with blood clots in his legs and near his lungs. Those issues would limit his track time, and he ran his last full-time season in 2014. He ran part-time and a total of seven races in 2015 and 2016.

Vickers' life off the track took an interesting turn in 2013 when he married Sarah Kellen. She was the former assistant of Jeffrey Epstein and has been named in lawsuits and accused of being the “lieutenant” who helped Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell procure hundreds of girls.

Vickers and his wife lived in a three-bedroom, $10 million penthouse of the Mercer Greene building in New York City, where Vickers was president of the condo board.

The Daily Beast asked NASCAR for comment (NASCAR, understandably, has no comment) about Brian Vickers’ wife’s alleged involvement as Jeffrey Epstein’s scheduler.

Also, Vickers is simply referred to as “NASCAR driver” despite not racing in 39 months. https://t.co/RWcGGf0c50

Since 2022, Vickers has remained silent on social media. His last post on X came in March of that year.

On Monday, he broke that silence with a post on X that included a photo of a sign that said: “Delete that old version of me in your head, it expired.”

He then wrote: “Hey Friends, After ten years of marriage and five years under a rock on social media I’m coming out of digital hiding to share some heavy news: Sarah and I are getting divorced.

“I’m grateful for the time we shared – both the joyous moments and the difficult ones. I’m grateful for the learning. I’m grateful for the growth. Now that the dust has settled, I’m more grateful than ever for the clarity.

“Here’s the good news: You can expect a bit more action out of me in the coming months. I’m back on my digital game and ready to keep ya’ll in the loop again. (Keep an eye out for some creative moves, too.)

“Sending love and grace, Brian Vickers.”
