Career

[edit]

Sisco also managed to earn $251,359 in his seven-year NASCAR career ($1,263,834.71 when considering inflation ).[1] His average starting position is 22nd place while he managed to finish in 19th place on average.[1] Total mileage of all of Sisco's races are 39,186.7 miles (63,064.9 km).[1] Prior to 1971, Sisco participated in a select number of late model stock car races and was the champion of one of them in 1969.

The type of tracks that best favored Sisco were flat tracks; where he would finish an average of 13th place. He did not excel on restrictor plate tracks, however, and a finish of 23rd place would become routine for Sisco during his NASCAR Cup Series career.[2]
