A former member from the Red Bull Junior Team, Fleming finished 3rd in the Formula Renault 2.0 Eurocup in 2004 and was rookie of the year in the Formula Renault 2000 Germany also in that year. He raced against fellow American and Californian and future Formula One driver Scott Speed. In 2005, he switched to the Formula Renault 3.5 with Swiss team Jenzer Motorsport, despite three DNS in the first 3 and missing one race of that season he finished 13th with 34 points with a best finish of 3rd in the second race in the Bugatti Circuit in LeMans, France. In 2006, he joined Carlin where he finished 6th in the first race of the season in Zolder. Later that year, he finished 4th in Circuit de Monaco and 8th in both races in Istanbul Park, but left Carlin and the Red Bull Junior team after the latter.[1] Red Bull replaced him with fellow Red Bull Junior Team member and future Formula One Champion Sebastian Vettel.[2]

After leaving Red Bull, he returned to the United States to complete in the Atlantic Championship mid-season.
