Driving career Troconis is a two-time Mexican
Formula Three International champion (winning titles in 1999 and 2002) and a Rookie of the Year Award winner in the
Formula Vee Series (1995) and
Indy Lights de las Americas (2000). Troconis also competed in the
NASCAR Toyota Series and
Desafío Corona Series. Troconis attempted one
Busch Series race in 2006 driving the No. 23 for
Keith Coleman Racing at
Watkins Glen, but failed to qualify.
Crew chiefing career 2012–2013: Jennifer Jo Cobb Racing and Eddie Sharp Racing Troconis' first crew chief job was in
2012 when he crew chiefed the No. 13
Jennifer Jo Cobb Racing team in the
Nationwide Series. When Cobb decided to focus on her
Truck Series operation that year, the team did not attempt any races for many months and he joined
Eddie Sharp Racing as
Justin Lofton's engineer on the No. 6 truck and starting at Talladega in October, he replaced Daniel Bormann as the team's crew chief. The following year, he was only crew chief for the team in the season-opener at Daytona before being replaced by Cody Sauls.
2014–2018: Kyle Busch Motorsports and ThorSport Racing When Sharp's team closed down after the 2013 season, Troconis moved over to
Kyle Busch Motorsports as an engineer, and was promoted to crew chief of their No. 54 truck, driven by
Christopher Bell,
Gray Gaulding, and
Matt Tifft, towards the end of the 2015 season when Shannon Rursch left the team. KBM shut down the No. 54 truck in 2016, and Troconis went to
ThorSport Racing to crew chief
Cameron Hayley and the No. 13 truck. After all of their drivers except for
Matt Crafton had winless seasons and missed the playoffs in 2016, ThorSport shook up their crew chief lineup the following year and Troconis moved from the No. 13 to the No. 27 of
Ben Rhodes. He and Rhodes did qualify for the playoffs and they won the race at
Las Vegas that year. Their race-winning truck from that race was nicknamed "marshmellow", as it was one of the trucks that was burned in ThorSport's shop fire in 2015 but rebuilt afterward. The two remained together in 2018, and they won another race at
Kentucky, Rhodes' home track, which qualified them for the playoffs for the second straight year. Also that year, Troconis was suspended for one race at
Dover due to Rhodes' truck failing post-race inspection at the Daytona race earlier in the year and losing the appeal to the penalty. He was also fined $5,000. Bud Haefele served as the interim crew chief for the team in Troconis' absence.
2019–2020: AM Racing and Sam Hunt Racing In
2019, Troconis left ThorSport after three years with the team, going to
AM Racing as the crew chief for the No. 22 truck driven by
Austin Wayne Self. Towards the end of the
2020 Truck Series season, Troconis would leave AM Racing for
Sam Hunt Racing, a part-time team in the
NASCAR Xfinity Series, to crew chief
Mason Diaz in the team's No. 26
Toyota Supra. Ryan Salomon would replace Troconis at AM Racing for the last four races of the season.
2021–present: Young's Motorsports, DGM Racing, suspension and arrest In 2021, Sam Hunt Racing replaced Troconis with former
Jeremy Clements Racing crew chief Andrew Abbott, leaving Troconis looking for work. He joined
Young's Motorsports as crew chief of for the team's No. 02 in the Truck Series, which for the majority of the season was driven by
Kris Wright. He would also be the crew chief of the team's No. 02 car in the
ARCA Menards Series and
ARCA Menards Series East whenever
Connor Mosack was the driver of the car. In addition, Troconis was one of a rotation of crew chiefs for
DGM Racing in the Xfinity Series in 2021, crew chiefing their Nos. 90 and No. 92 cars in select races throughout the season. On October 6, NASCAR indefinitely suspended Troconis for violation of Section 12.8.1.c in the rulebook, which relates to behavioral conduct. On December 21, an arrest warrant was issued to Troconis on felony second degree assault charges. He turned himself in to the
Talladega County Sheriff's Deputies Office on January 5, 2022 and is facing between one and ten years in jail if convicted. Through this, it was revealed that Troconis had been suspended because he was involved in a fight with spotter Clayton Hughes during the race weekend at
Talladega in October. According to the sheriff's office, Troconis
sucker punched him in the neck which led him to fall to the ground, where Troconis then kicked him in the back multiple times. Hughes had to undergo several surgeries and was unable to walk after the incident. Steven Dawson has served as the interim crew chief for the No. 02 truck since Troconis' suspension started. On December 7, 2022, Troconis was convicted of second-degree assault in relation to the incident. ==Personal life==
