Corvetteparts.net to Back the Easter Bunny 200 for its 20th Anniversary

Naples, Maine — 2/27/2026 — Officials at the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) announced today that Corvetteparts.net has agreed to sponsor the 20th anniversary edition of the Easter Bunny 200 at North Carolina’s Hickory Motor Speedway.  The Easter Bunny Corvetteparts.net 200 will also feature a bolstered purse with $8,000 going to the winner.  As part of the announcement, Corvetteparts.net owner Tom Keen announced he would also provide one lucky driver with a full set of Hoosier Racing tires.

“We are pleased to be involved in the Corvetteparts.net Easter Bunny 200 at Hickory Motor Speedway on March 14th, 2026,” Keen said. My wife TJ and I really wanted to help grassroots racing in 2026, and making this a Corvetteparts.net Cup race with the Pro All Stars Series will make it very exciting!”  

The Easter Bunny race, put on by PASS since 2006, has traditionally been a 150-lap race. Series President Tom Mayberry added on another 50 laps and two extra tires to make strategy an important part of the 20th edition.

“We are thrilled to have a great company like Corvetteparts.net join us for such a landmark race,” said Mayberry.  “Partnering with a great company that supports short track racing is something we are very happy to do.  We also think the added 50 laps will make strategy a more important part of the race.” 

Celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2026, the Easter Bunny is one of the biggest annual events on the Pro All Stars Series calendar. Fourteen different drivers have stood in Easter Bunny Victory Lane, and the list is a who's-who of modern Super Late Model racing and beyond. William Byron, Preston Peltier, Mike Rowe, Derek Griffith, and Stephen Nasse are just a handful of the drivers who have carried the prestigious checkered flag.

Keen went on to state, “We feel that our 2026 season should assist the drivers and owners that enter most of the races but don’t run up front all the time.  So, in this race, we will be giving the 10th-place finisher a set of tires for their next PASS race to help with expenses.”

The Corvetteparts.net Cup will be up for grabs once again for the top three of the best Super Late Model talent in the Northeast.  Be sure to check out all the products online at Corvetteparts.net while restoring your vintage Corvette.  As they always say, “Corvette parts is all we do!”

The Pro All Stars Series is set to embark on its 26th season of competition with 16 total races on the schedule.  The Corvetteparts.net Easter Bunny 200 is race number one of the six-event National Championship Series. Drivers like Brandon Barker, Reigning PASS North Champion D.J. Shaw, Celebration of America 300 winners Garrett Hall and Joey Doiron, Sylas Ripley, Cole Robie, and Dennis Spencer Jr. are among the growing list of entrants.

The 20th anniversary Easter Bunny event will also feature a 100-lap, $5,000-to-win Limited-Street Stock Challenge and a $2,000-to-win Easter Bunny 50 for the KHM Thunder Stock Crown Vics. Post time is 2:30pm on Saturday, March 14 with the full schedule and pricing TBA. For those who can’t make it to North Carolina, the event will be live streamed on the North East Short Track Network at www.nestn.tv.
