Jason Priestley Cares Not for Your Precious Karma

Buh-nuh-nuh. Duh-nuh-nuh. /Sick guitar riff.

Jason Priestley will not go quietly into the night. The former 90210 star who broke his back and neck in an Indy car race back in 2002 when he was a youthful 32 (remember, we all grew up watching him play a too old high schooler) is getting right back on that m-f’ing horse, having started a new racing team, Rubicon Race Team with partners Dallas Clark, Tom Kelley and yooooour oft-used Carolina Panthers punter, Jason Baker.

“Dude, this is going to be so fun,” Priestley said today.

No, dude, it is not. Let us explain how this is going to play out, in the most poorly possible fashion. Acknowledging of course, that you are a washed up former teeny-bopper pop star with a recently failed CBS sitcom named Love Monkey (which got less run than the Costanza-starred Tony Kornheiser “bio”.) You invest money in team. Team does okay, but not quite up to your standards. Your once ironically promising race career is rejuvenated (see below) when you decide, against the wishes of your doctors and girlfriend ~~Brian Austin Green~~ ~~Jennie Garth~~ Naomi Lowde, to pull a Cole Trickle and get back in your really fast car. Wreckage ensues followed by a touching FOX reality wake at the Peach Pit. So do your family, and all of us a favor and just stay away.

Of course, the more relevant and likely issue at hand might be the impending IRL steroid scandal.
