Former NASCAR driver Brian Vickers<\/a> was mentioned in numerous documents in the latest Epstein files dropped Friday.<\/p>\n

Vickers\u2019 ex-wife, Sarah Kellen, was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in Epstein\u2019s 2008 nonprosecution deal and was later described as “criminally responsible” by a federal judge during Ghislaine Maxwell\u2019s<\/a> 2022 sentencing.<\/p>\n

The most damning implication of Vickers’ apparent relationship with Epstein appears to be an email directly from Vickers to Epstein sent Feb. 14, 2019.<\/p>\n

In an email with the subject line, “Thought you would like this,” Vickers sent an attachment with the message, “Happy Valentines Buddy” and a winky-face emoji. Epstein was found dead in his jail cell six months later.<\/p>\n

Vickers is also shown to have forwarded an email to Epstein on March 24, 2012, with the subject line, “Male Fairy Tail.” The email’s content<\/a> is sexually explicit.<\/p>\n

Other emails include discussions about potential sponsorships. But one from a redacted sender to Epstein included apparent concern<\/a> from Michael Waltrip and another business partner stemming from negative stories about Epstein.<\/p>\n

Representatives for Vickers and NASCAR did not respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n

Steve Tisch, part-owner of the New York Giants, was listed in the files and appeared to have discussed women with Epstein<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“We had a brief association where we exchanged emails about adult women, and, in addition, we discussed movies, philanthropy and investments. I did not take him up on 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 night.<\/p>\n

The Department of Justice’s Friday release of more than 3 million documents related to the investigation of Epstein<\/a> included email exchanges from April 2013 and June 2013 between Tisch and the convicted sex offender.<\/p>\n

Epstein was found dead<\/a> in a Manhattan federal jail cell Aug. 10, 2019. His death was later ruled a suicide.\u00a0<\/p>\n
