Day 340: Starting with two racing deals...

  • Michael McDowell was the shock winner of the 2021 Daytona 500 after the second of two "Big One" crashes left McDowell the leader when the caution lights were thrown on the final lap.  No, I'm not one to think McDowell caused the wreck, though he definitely did start some of the contact which facilitated it.  Nor do I think McDowell was the one NASCAR would "want" to win.  Chase Elliott, who finished second, probably gets that distinction.  That said, I do think NASCAR needs to deal with the aerodynamic package which basically makes running in a long train for many laps on super-speedways about 10-15 MPH faster than trying to pass, leading to this chaos finish at almost every super-speedway race.   
  • But that may pale in comparison to something I just found early this morning on YouTube.  It is a late-2020 video which probably would dabble into the conspiracy end of things.


The video alleges Brian Vickers retired from NASCAR in 2015 because his wife, Sarah Kellen, has already been tied to Jeffrey Epstein, and it is believed that Vickers could not have been involved with Kellen, even her under an alias, without at least knowing who he was dealing with.

The video DOES NOT ALLEGE underage conduct with respect to Vickers.  I need to be clear on this.  It DOES NOT ALLEGE underage sexual contact between Vickers and anyone.  But given not only the possibility Kellen still has outside ties to Epstein's people, plus the fact that it is widely believed, even in her own family, that she will probably be arrested soon for crimes under Epstein's employ, various parties may have "encouraged" or even forced Vickers from the sport as a result.  It is unclear at this time.   
  • Former Buccaneer and Charger Vincent Jackson was found deceased in a Florida hotel room today.  He was 38.  CTE probable.  He was staying in a Tampa hotel, and police were dispatched there last Friday on a missing-persons situation.
