David Sisco (born June 26, 1937 – Nashville, Tennessee, USA) is a retired NASCAR Winston Cup Series driver who has led 98 laps out of the 33,668 that he raced in his entire career.[1]

Career

Sisco also managed to earn $251,359 in his seven-year NASCAR career ($968,304.99 in today's money).[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] The only race that Sisco failed to qualify for was the 1983 Champion Spark Plug 400; a race won by Cale Yarborough who defeated Darrell Waltrip by ½ of a second.

Prior to 1971, Sisco participated in a select amount 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 par for the course for Sisco during his NASCAR Cup Series career.[2]
