Not in the industry and I have nothing against fracking/fracing/fraccing, however the spelling with k is correct. You need to add the k in there or else it would be pronounced with a soft c sound (in the same way as tracing). Much the same as the following words to which a k is added along with the suffix:
traffic>trafficking
mimic>mimicking
panic>panicking
Quebec > Quebecker
