Taylor was competing in the ute series and Carrera Cup, but missed both Porsche races after being taken to Bathurst Hospital.<\/p>\n
Pending approval, Taylor expects to be released on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just want to thank the staff at both the track and Bathurst Hospital, who have been amazing and world class,\u201d said Taylor.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have broken ribs, a collapsed lung and some internal bleeding, but nothing too severe. I hope to be released today after further testing.\u201d<\/p>\n
The incident, which happened at the start of Saturday morning\u2019s race, appeared somewhat innocuous.<\/p>\n
Taylor hit the concrete wall on the driver\u2019s right-hand side.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a funny incident as we are still not sure what occurred,\u201d Taylor explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe impact was that hard that the engine mounts broke and everything internally moved including the battery, with the ECU wiping the camera such was the hit.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Ranger didn\u2019t appear too damaged from the outside, but as it hit side-on. there was no crumple absorption, which inflicted the damage.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t hit a wall at about 140km\/h square on the right-hand side and not suffer injury.\u201d<\/p>\n
Taylor said he hoped he might see some of the Bathurst 1000, assuming he is released in time.<\/p>\n
The businessman is supporting Nash Morris in the Great Race, who is part of PremiAir Racing\u2019s line-up alongside Richie Stanaway.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am thankful to have the best support from everyone and I am now focused on checking out of Bathurst Hospital to catch some of the race if the tests come through clear,\u201d said Taylor.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t wait to get home to Rebecca Maddox and Indigo.\u201d<\/p>\n
