His childhood dream was to win at Port Royal Speedway in a 410 winged sprint car, and in 2008 he became the youngest driver to accomplish that feat. Cisney has also finished second in track championship points a few times and he finished fourth this season. 

On Saturday night Cisney was involved in a scary crash in turn 3 of the Tuscarora 50 at Port Royal Speedway. Freddie Rahmer broke a rear axle in front of him, and with nowhere to go Cisney made contact with Rahmer and the 5 car was set ablaze. Logan Wagner and Danny Dietrich along with a fast arriving Port Royal Fire crew helped put the fire out and Cisney walked away with minor injuries.
