Racing's NASCAR Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series teams will carry a special
decal this weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway in honor of Frankie Allen, a
valued employee and three-year veteran of the RCR team, who passed away earlier
this week.Allen worked as the shock specialist on the No. 2 Camping World Truck Series entry with drivers Kevin Harvick, Brendan Gaughan and Tim George Jr. The Rock Hill, S.C., native served as the car chief for George Jr's No. 31 ARCA Racing Series team for the 2010 and 2011 seasons. In addition to running memorial decals on RCR's Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series cars this weekend, the three RCR Truck Series teams will carry the decal honoring Allen for the Kroger 250 race at Martinsville Speedway on March 31.
"Frankie put in a lot of hard work and effort at RCR and truly became a friend to me and others at the shop," said Mike Dillon, Vice President of Competition for RCR. "One of his favorite sayings was 'hurry up' so it seemed appropriate to have that phrase on the decals the cars will carry. He will definitely be missed at the shop and our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this tough time."
Allen is survived by
his wife Renee. Funeral arrangements are pending.
