dylan cisney driver resume
TRANSCRIPT
Hello, my name is Dylan Cisney, I am an up and coming professional race car driver. I am from Port Royal, Pennsylvania and currently race 410 Winged Sprint Cars. Growing up, I could literally look out my bedroom window and see and hear the famed Port Royal Speedway running race events. I knew that is what I wanted to do and become a racing champion there. Since I was 16 I have accomplished many wins and 2 time Most Improved Driver at Port Royal. When I have a goal and a vision I go out to accomplish it. I am already working on the next big step in my career this season I am looking at opportunities to race in the ARCA series in a stock car. I am excited to make this transition and look to run super speedways such as Daytona, Talladega and Pocono, PA, which is another home state track and goal of mine.
What sets me apart from other racers is the fact that I am very hands on. I believe that to be truly successful in something that you must understand all aspects of it. I have a degree in High Performance Motorsports from the University of Northwestern Ohio. This allows me to be able to build all of my cars from the ground up and truly understand the dynamics of each part and how they work. The first sprint car race that I won, was with an engine that I successfully tore down and rebuilt by myself. I have a deep knowledge of automotive performance and that is something that I have added to my program is to help educate others.
One thing that I am passionate about is our youth coming up understanding automotive technology. We all know that our future is in our youth. I have been making appearances and speaking at schools about the automotive industry, how to learn about getting involved in motorsports and building interest around this education. If my time and knowledge makes a positive impact on just one student, I feel as if I am really making a difference in their lives and the future of motorsports.

Racing has always been my lifelong passion. Ever since I can remember I have always had the passion to become a NASCAR driver. They say that racing is something that is in your blood, something that you are born with, and that is definitely true with me. I was drawn to dirt racing because I grew up on the backstretch of the Port Royal Speedway. My house was so close to the speedway that I could throw a baseball and make it to the infield of the speedway! When I was young I can remember watching the races on Saturday night from my bedroom window. I knew from that moment, that was where I was meant to be. Even though at that time I didn't know how, I knew someday I would be on that racetrack. I started out as any other kid does by racing go karts at the age of 7. My father had raced go karts as a hobby for some time, and in the winter of 1999 I told him that I wanted to race too. It didn't take long, that spring my dad told me he had something to show me in the garage. As I walked out there, before me sat a go kart with my name on it. I had literally just taken the first footsteps into my life of motorsports. After I graduated from go karts, I moved into the open wheel ranks of auto racing. I began my first season in a super sportsman sprint car in 2008, while I was a sophomore in high school. That year I began the youngest winner in the series history at Williams Grove and Port Royal Speedways, along with becoming the rookie of the year. In 2010 I made the big jump to the 410 sprint car division against some of the toughest competition in the country, in central Pennsylvania. I competed in a limited racing schedule from 2010 - 2012 while I obtained my college degree from the University of Northwestern Ohio. I moved home from college in 2013 and began my first full time season in the 410 sprint car division. We had a breakout year as a team in 2013, getting our first career win in the division along with placing 4th in the season standings, and being named Most Improved Driver. I have continued to compete in the 410 ranks at Port Royal Speedway the past few seasons. In 2015, I placed 2nd in the season point standings. In 2016 I once again am competing for the Port Royal Speedway track championship. The crew and myself are more focused and determined then ever to get that prestigious award that has so narrowly evaded us the last few seasons. I am beyond excited for this season and can’t wait to see where my journey takes me next!
