Celebrating the Easter Holiday, the Talladega Superspeedway is getting set to host their fifth annual Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, April 11. The free event is open to children ages 1-10 and will provide a fun-filled day for the entire family of Hardcore Race Fans.

The Easter Bunny will be on hand, along with clowns from the Aromaz Dynasty Daughters of the Nile. There will be face painting, balloon animals and the Easter Bunny will even judge an Easter Basket competition. 

Children taking part in the Easter Egg Hunt will search for 15,000 plastic eggs filled with candy and prizes the Easter Bunny had hidden around the infield.

“The Easter Egg Hunt is good chance to bring the family out to Talladega Superspeedway and enjoy the spring weather,” said track president Rick Humphrey. “Each year we have increased the number of eggs we hide and the number of activities we have during the day. And, each year, more and more guests show their support for the track and attend ready to hunt eggs.  We expect this, our fifth year, to set another attendance record and we look forward to welcoming everyone for the day.”

A detailed list of events follows:
