This week on Episode Seven of the Announcer Schedules Podcast, Mike Gill and Phil de Montmollin welcomed NASCAR on NBC lead race announcer Rick Allen to discuss his career and life as one of motorsports’ preeminent announcers.
In this informative and entertaining conversation, Allen reflects on his first-ever Cup Series broadcast on NBC and much more. Just how did a guy who was doing public address announcing for the University of Nebraska end up becoming one of the premier motorsports voices on network TV?
How involved is his preparation from week to week and what kind of notes or cue cards does he have on the drivers as the race unfolds?
Mike and Phil find out that and much more with Rick Allen, who will call Sunday’s Cup Series race from Atlanta on USA Network (3 PM ET), plus the remainder of the NASCAR season and the crowning of the 2022 series champion.
