==Racing career==

===Early career=== Veach began racing at age twelve when he was "discovered" by former [[IndyCar Series]] team owner [[Sarah Fisher]]'s dad, Dave Fisher. In nineteen months, Veach had gone from go-karts to the cockpit of an open-wheel [[Formula BMW]] machine. Near the end of 2009, while testing a Formula BMW, [[Atlantic Championship]] team owner [[Eric Jensen (racing driver)|Eric Jensen]] signed Veach to his team for the [[2010 Atlantic Championship season]].<ref>[http://www.racer.com/atlantic-jensen-motorsport-signs-15-year-old-driver/article/159496/ Atlantic: Jensen MotorSport signs 15-year-old driver] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120616093613/http://www.racer.com/atlantic-jensen-motorsport-signs-15-year-old-driver/article/159496/ |date=2012-06-16 }}, ''Racer'', December 11, 2009</ref> In early March 2010, the Series halted operations.<ref>[http://www.motorsport.com/news/article.asp?ID=359227&FS=COMMENTARY Atlantic Championship forced to take hiatus]{{Dead link|date=March 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}, ''Motorsport.com'', March 03, 2010</ref>
