Racing career

Beginnings

Quiroga began his career in Reto Neon in 1996.

Corona Series

In 2004, he began racing in the NASCAR Corona Series (NCS), racing for Jorge Seman's race team .^[1] During the following year, he won the Formula Renault championship. In 2005, he drove in the Infiniti Pro Series before returning to Desafio Corona for 2006. His first championship in the Corona Series came in 2009, while racing for Equipo Telcel. He won the championship again in 2010 and 2011.^[2][3]

Toyota All-Star Showdown

In 2011, Quiroga participated in the Toyota All-Star Showdown in Irwindale, California, racing for Bill McAnally.^[4] He finished in the 12th position behind fellow NCS driver Daniel Suárez.^[5]

Nationwide Series

Quiroga's 2013 truck at Rockingham Speedway

Quiroga's first race in the NASCAR's national touring series came in 2007 in the Busch Series (now the Nationwide Series), competing in the series' then-annual event at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez for Jay Robinson Racing where he finished 28th.^[6]

Camping World Truck Series

He made his debut in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series in 2011, competing in two events for Kyle Busch Motorsports at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and Homestead-Miami Speedway, with a best finish of 16th coming in his first race.^[7]

In 2012, Quiroga returned to KBM for a limited schedule of events, driving the No. 51 Toyota in four races at Talladega Superspeedway, Texas Motor Speedway, Phoenix International Raceway and Homestead.^[3][8] He moved to Red Horse Racing for the 2013 season, running the entire series schedule in an attempt to win the series' Rookie of the Year honors.^[9]

He also has worked part-time on NASCAR on NBC broadcasts, being part of mun2's broadcast of the NASCAR Toyota Series Toyota 120 at Phoenix International Raceway in February 2014.^[10]

Quiroga had a great start in 2014 season with five straight top ten finishes until Texas.

After sitting out 2015, he returned to drive part-time in the Red Horse's No. 11 truck in 2016 beginning at Texas. Unfortunately, it was his final appearance in the championship as he failed to attract enough sponsors to continue.^[11]

Return to NASCAR Mexico

Quiroga returned to racing in 2021, joining the NASCAR Mexico field ten years after his last appearance in the category. He began in the no. 11 car to replace Hugo Oliveras,^[11] then switched to no. 69 midseason. He finished tenth in 2021, and twelfth the following season.

2023 was a far more positive season. He only finished outside the top ten once, and came close to winning the title, but was passed on the final lap of the final race. Therefore, he was crowned runner-up in the standings, despite not winning a race.^[12]

In 2024, he began the year with a top five and a podium. However, a handful of results outside of the top ten midseason, including a retirement in Aguascalientes, meant that he did not reach the playoffs and finished the season in eleventh overall.^[13]

He continued in the no. 69 car for the 2025 season, which started strong, with two top tens and a top five in Puebla. He qualified on pole in round four at Aguascalientes and went on to finish on the podium. With a pair of top ten finishes in the Mexico City double-header, he was eighth in the standings going into round eight in Monterrey.^[14]
