Posting on X, Allen uploaded a photo from the announcer’s booth at Bank of America Stadium. The former Cup Series announcer wrote: “Let’s go!! Starting my new role as entertainment PA announcer for @Panthers football games! #KeepPounding.”<\/p>\n
Fans were quick to express their delight to see Allen in a new role, with Kelly Earnhardt, the daughter of the legendary Dale Earnhardt, replying: “This is awesome Rick!”<\/p>\n
A second commented: “You’ll do a fantastic job!! We miss you in racing!” A third said: “Miss you on the racing side. [You] Were better than anything they have now over there.”<\/p>\n
And a fourth said: “Miss hearing you in NASCAR, but this is awesome!”<\/p>\n
DON’T MISS…<\/p>\n
