Grant Denyer Hospitalized After Terrifying Bathurst Crash

Grant Denyer, a television personality, sustained a possible shoulder injury and was hospitalized after a significant collision at the Mount Panorama circuit during the Bathurst 6 Hour race on Sunday. The incident occurred when Denyer's Camaro collided with Richard Barram's Volkswagen Scirocco at Griffins Bend as Denyer attempted to overtake. This happened while the section of the track was under a double waved yellow flag due to a stranded Mazda.

Barram's vehicle sustained extensive front-end damage, and Denyer's car lost a front left tyre. Following the crash, Denyer was taken to Bathurst Hospital, and Barram was transported to Orange Hospital with a suspected ankle injury. The driver of the stranded Mazda, Matt Kiss, avoided serious harm. Denyer has a notable history in Australian motorsport, having previously competed in the Bathurst 1000 and won championships.

Denyer has previously spoken about the difficult decision he made to prioritize a television career over a potential V8 Supercars drive in 2009, a choice he described as emotionally challenging. He also suffered a severe back injury in a monster truck accident in 2008. Denyer has expressed a need for motorsport in his life, feeling that something significant is 'missing' when he is not racing.
