The New Ohio Express. F1 Weekly is pleased to present our conversation with Zach Veach, young American talent from Stockdale. From karting to Star Mazda this year with Andretti Autosport, Zach’s career has been on a fast track.

The past two seasons he competed in the USF2000 National Championship Powered by Mazda. In 2010, he was fifth in the final standings with three podium appearances. Last year he grabbed his maiden win in the series and with five podium finishes placed fourth in the championship.

Seeking guidance from his racing hero and team owner, Michael Andretti, Zach now takes on his teammate Sage Karam, and 2011 USF2000 Champion Petri Suvanto in this year’s Star Mazda Championship.

Zach is equally busy off the track. He has written a book, 99 Things Teens Wish They Knew Before Turning 16,” and is the spokesperson for FocusDriven. In 2010, he was named to CNN’s list of “Intriguing People.”
