Lerch grew up kart racing, starting at the age of 7. By pushing through the ranks he landed in 3rd place in the S2 Championship class in the SKUSA SuperNationals by 2013. The following year, 2014, he competed in Rok Cup International at South Garda. That same year, Augie and Team Pelfrey partnered up in the F1600 Championship Series for his first run in open wheel racing. He placed 3rd overall in the F1600 Championship Serie] because of his strong performance all year winning one event at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course taking two more podiums in Watkins Glen International.

For 2015, Lerch entered the Mazda Road to Indy in the U.S. F2000 National Championship with JAY Motorsports. Reaching mid-season and still with little progress developing the car, Lerch brought on Engineer, Daryl Bear, a force that helped bring RC Enerson to success in 2014. Despite the improvements that were made during this time, Lerch felt that the short time left on the schedule will not allow for enough gain in the Championship.

Moving forward, Lerch has both National and International racing prospects lined up for the remainder of the 2015 season, as he will not move forward with the Cooper Tires USF2000 Series Powered by Mazda Program.
