Zach Veach is a professional endurance racer competing in the FIA Gold category, holding the full-professional grade within sportscar and GT racing. He races for Racers Edge Motorsports in GT World Challenge America and for CSM in IMSA Pilot Challenge, driving GT3 and GT4 machinery in shared-car multiclass competitions that field a mix of amateur and professional drivers. His career spans 15 seasons and 142 starts across single-seater racing and endurance series from 2011 to the present.[1]

Veach spent his early years in single-seater ladder racing, winning six races in Indy NXT between 2013 and 2016 and taking three podiums in Star Mazda Championship. He moved to IndyCar from 2017 to 2020, competing in 47 starts that mixed oval tracks and road courses. His transition to endurance racing began in 2015 with IMSA WeatherTech, where he took three podiums across 12 starts in the GTD class. Since 2022, he has raced primarily in North American multiclass GT and endurance series; in 2024 he took eight podiums from 11 starts in GT World Challenge America, the strongest recent performance in his record.[2]

In endurance fields built around GT3 and GT4 cars, Veach typically finishes behind Gabby Chaves, a Gold-graded professional and 2020 IMSA Pilot Challenge champion who has 100 career starts across IndyCar, IMSA WeatherTech and Indy NXT. He runs closely matched against Ed Jones, a fellow professional with 122 IndyCar and open-wheel starts. Over his career in single-seater racing, Veach finished ahead of Alex Palou and Pato O'Ward in multiple meetings; both are now elite professionals, Palou having won four IndyCar championships since 2021 and O'Ward the 2017 IMSA WeatherTech Prototype Challenge and 2018 Indy NXT title.
