After years away from the public attention, former NASCAR driver Brian Vickers broke his silence Monday night with deeply personal news. The 2003 Busch Series Champion took to social media for the first time in over three years to announce that he and his wife, Sarah Kellen, are ending their marriage after a decade together.
“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,” Vickers shared on X, formerly Twitter. His statement carried a mix of reflection and optimism.
“I’m grateful for the time we shared — both the joyous moments and the difficult ones,” he added. “Now that the dust has settled, I’m more grateful than ever for the clarity.”
New Chapter For Vickers
Vickers, who competed in 323 NASCAR Cup Series races from 2003 to 2016 and notched three career wins, stepped away from the sport nearly a decade ago. Since then, he’s kept a low profile, especially online. His message marks a personal update and hints at a return to a more public presence. “You can expect a bit more action out of me in the coming months,” he wrote. “I’m back on my digital game and ready to keep y’all in the loop again.”

While Vickers expressed gratitude for his past, the split allowed him to move away from a difficult chapter. His now-former wife, Sarah Kellen, has long faced scrutiny for her role in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation. Multiple reports, including a 2019 Fox News investigation, linked her closely to Epstein’s activities, referring to her as one of his “lieutenants.” The article stated she maintained a Rolodex of young women recruited for Epstein.

Though Kellen denied any wrongdoing, telling The Sun in 2020 that Epstein “raped and abused [her] weekly,” though controversy still surrounds her past. The Miami Herald reported that Kellen received immunity in Epstein’s 2008 plea deal, effectively shielding her from prosecution.
For Vickers, the divorce appears to mark a fresh start. The 41-year-old didn’t hint at any plans to return to racing but teased “new creative moves” ahead.
“Sending love and grace,” Vickers signed off his post. After years of silence, his message is clear and a sign that he’s ready to move forward.
