Germán Quiroga Jr. (born May 29, 1980) is a Mexican professional driver specializing in stock car racing, currently active in the NASCAR Mexico Series. He made history in 2011 as the first driver to clinch the NASCAR Corona Series championship title three times.

Early years

Quiroga launched his racing journey in 1996, competing in the Reto Neon series.

Corona Series

In 2004, Quiroga joined the NASCAR Corona Series (NCS), driving for Jorge Seman’s team. The next year, he captured the Formula Renault championship. After participating in the Infiniti Pro Series during 2005, he returned to Desafio Corona in 2006. Representing Equipo Telcel, Quiroga earned consecutive Corona Series titles in 2009, 2010, and 2011.

Toyota All-Star Showdown

During 2011, Quiroga took part in the Toyota All-Star Showdown held at Irwindale, California, racing for Bill McAnally. He finished twelfth, just behind fellow NCS competitor Daniel Suárez.

Nationwide Series

Quiroga debuted in NASCAR’s national touring circuits in 2007 by competing in the Busch Series (now known as the Nationwide Series) at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez with Jay Robinson Racing, where he placed 28th.

Camping World Truck Series

His first appearance in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series came in 2011 when he ran two events for Kyle Busch Motorsports at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and Homestead-Miami Speedway, achieving a best result of sixteenth place.

In 2012, Quiroga returned to Kyle Busch Motorsports for four races piloting the No. 51 Toyota at venues including Talladega Superspeedway, Texas Motor Speedway, Phoenix International Raceway, and Homestead. The following year, he signed on full-time with Red Horse Racing, targeting the series’ Rookie of the Year award.

Additionally, Quiroga contributed as a part-time analyst for NASCAR on NBC broadcasts, including mun2’s coverage of the NASCAR Toyota Series event, the Toyota 120, held in Phoenix during February 2014.

Quiroga began the 2014 season strongly by securing five straight top-ten finishes before Texas. After sitting out the entire 2015 season, he returned part-time in 2016 with Red Horse Racing’s No. 11 truck starting at Texas. This would be his last championship pursuit due to limited sponsorship opportunities.

Return to NASCAR Mexico

After a ten-year hiatus, Quiroga resumed competition in 2021 by rejoining the NASCAR Mexico. Initially taking over Hugo Oliveras’ No. 11 car, he transitioned midseason to No. 69, concluding the year tenth in points and finishing twelfth in the subsequent season.

The 2023 campaign saw marked progress as Quiroga consistently placed inside the top ten except for one race and narrowly missed clinching the championship, finishing second overall without recording a race victory.

In 2024, he opened with a top-five finish and podium but encountered difficulties midseason, including a retirement at Aguascalientes, ultimately ending eleventh overall and outside playoff contention.

Continuing with car number 69 into the 2025 season, Quiroga started competitively with two top-ten results and a top-five at Puebla. He earned pole position in round four at Aguascalientes and secured a podium finish there, holding eighth place in the standings heading into round eight at Monterrey.
