Got some explaining to do…
Congress is continuing its investigation into the wide-ranging scandal surrounding sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein – and they’re asking the ex-wife of a retired NASCAR driver to testify.
Sarah Kellen is the former wife of Brian Vickers, who retired from the NASCAR Cup Series in 2015. The two were married for 10 years before divorcing in 2025.
Starting in 2000, Kellen began working as an assistant for Epstein, and has been named in police affidavits and lawsuits as having played a central role in Epstein’s sex trafficking scheme.
During the trial of Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell, Kellen was described by the judge as a “knowing participant” in the conspiracy, and she’s also been named in lawsuits from Epstein victims.
Kellen, however, disputes any criminal wrongdoing and has previously said before that she was a victim of Epstein.
But this week, Congress sent letters to seven people, including Kellen, asking them to testify on their knowledge the case.
In the letter to Kellen, Chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform James Comer writes:
“Due to public reporting, documents released by the Department of Justice, and documents obtained by the Committee, the Committee believes you have information that will assist in its investigation.”
The investigation seeks information regarding “ways in which Mr. Epstein and Ms. Maxwell sought to curry favor and exercise influence to protect their illegal activities,” and “potential violations of ethics rules related to elected officials.”
The committee requests Kellen appear before Congress on June 3, 2026 at 10 AM.
In documents released earlier this year, emails show that Vickers and somebody presumed to be Kellen began talking around 2012, while he was driving for the now-defunct MWR, with one email apparently from Kellen describing Vickers as having “a reputation of being a major playboy.”
In a 2013 email, the sender (presumed to be Kellen) is communicating directly with Epstein after hearing from Michael Waltrip Racing that a potential sponsor, Aaron’s, may have a problem with sponsoring Vickers due to his connections to Epstein.
The concerns apparently arose after an article was published by Gawker detailing the driver’s relationship with the Epstein associate. The sender of the email asked Epstein for any connections he may have to the company’s CEO:
While discussing the matter, it appears that MWR team owners Michael Waltrip and Rob Kauffman were hoping that the potential sponsor wouldn’t find out about the articles:
“They don’t intend to bring it to Aaron’s attention right now and are hoping they won’t find out.”
It appears that Vickers himself began communicating with Epstein as well, at least as early as 2012, when the NASCAR driver forwarded him a…well, vulgar and disturbing “fairy tale.” I’m not going to include that one here, but it’s in there if you want to read it. While it’s not clear that it was written by Vickers himself, the email mentions a “prince” who “raced cars and went to naked bars and dated women half his age.”
As recently as 2019, just five months before Epstein was arrested for the final time, Vickers also emailed Epstein directly to wish him a happy Valentine’s Day:
Also included in the release of the files was a draft of a prenuptial agreement between Vickers and Kellen, as well as several emails from various individuals inviting Epstein and his associates to NASCAR races.
Of course neither Vickers nor Kellen have been charged in relation to Epstein’s sex trafficking ring, and neither have commented on the documents contained in the latest release. Michael Waltrip, the 2001 winner of the Daytona 500 and former owner of MWR, currently works as an analyst for NASCAR on FOX and has likewise not commented on the emails. (MWR co-owner Rob Kauffman is no longer involved in NASCAR).
While the connection between Epstein and Vickers has long been known, the new documents renewed questions about his relationship with the sexual predator, as well as Epstein’s involvement in the driver’s racing career.
And if his ex-wife agrees to testify, maybe we’ll get some more answers.
