Former NASCAR Busch Series champion Brian Vickers has found himself embroiled in some troubling documents pertaining to the Jeffrey Epstein files.
In the recently released docs shared by the U.S. Department of Justice, Vickers, whose ex-wife has been named a co-conspirator in Epstein’s infamous sex trafficking ring, was found to have had direct contact with the disgraced financier via email dating back to at least 2012.

While the driver’s relationship with Epstein was previously unclear, these new email transcripts appear to shed a new light on his interactions with the child sex offender and serial rapist.

Ex-NASCAR driver Brian Vickers named in Epstein Files
On Friday, the DOJ released more than 3 million additional pages of files related to Epstein which included more than 2,000 videos and 180,000 images.
In one message from March of 2012, Vickers forwarded an email to Epstein with the subject line “Male Fairy Tail,” which began like a children’s fairy tale but quickly pivoted to more sexually graphic imagery after the story’s princess rejects the prince’s proposal.

Correspondence about NASCAR sponsorships also took place the following year which seemed to show Epstein working behind the scenes to make sure that the company Aaron’s remained a primary sponsor of Vickers after his then-wife’s involvement with the human trafficker started coming to light.
Epstein said Michael Waltrip Racing was “good with it on a personal level” while also claiming he didn’t “intend to bring it to Aaron’s attention right now and are hoping they won’t find out.”

Vickers sent Epstein Valentine’s Day message
In an email sent to Epstein in February of 2019, Vickers shared a message with the subject line “Thought you would like this,” containing text that said “Happy Valentine’s Buddy” and a video attachment.
Epstein died August of that year due to an apparent suicide in his prison cell. He was 66-years-old. Meanwhile, Vickers won three races in his NASCAR career before retiring from the sport in 2015 due to health complications.

In explosive tapes recorded by author Michael Wolff, Epstein described himself as Donald Trump’s “closest friend” for 10 years and the two were said to have frequently bonded over their pursuit of young women.
