He was inducted into the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway Hall of Fame in 2023.

==Career== Sisco also managed to earn $251,359 in his seven-year NASCAR career (${{formatnum:{{Inflation|US|251359|1977|r=2}}}} when considering inflation ).<ref name="davidsisco">{{cite web | url = http://www.racing-reference.info/driver/David_Sisco| title = David Sisco's NASCAR career information | publisher = Racing Reference | accessdate = 2010-11-27}}</ref> His average starting position is 22nd place while he managed to finish in 19th place on average.<ref name="davidsisco"/> Total mileage of all of Sisco's races are {{convert|39186.7|mi|km}}.<ref name="davidsisco"/> 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.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.driveraverages.com/nascar_stats/driver.php?drv_id=699| title = NASCAR statistics on ''David Sisco''| publisher = Driver Averages| accessdate = 2012-12-14| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130520104508/http://www.driveraverages.com/nascar_stats/driver.php?drv_id=699| archive-date = 2013-05-20| url-status = dead}}</ref>
