He participated in two World Championship [[Formula One]] Grands Prix, debuting on July 19, 1975. He was also the winner of the 1982 [[British Formula One]] Championship.

Crawford moved to the United States in the 1980s and began a career in [[Champ Cars]]. In 1987, he suffered a devastating accident during qualifying for the [[1987 Indianapolis 500|Indianapolis 500]], which left his feet and ankles badly injured. Crawford would return a year later to lead eight laps of the [[1988 Indianapolis 500]], eventually to finish 6th.

After retirement from racing, Crawford settled with his family in St. Petersburg, Florida working as a fishing boat captain. He died in 2002 of liver failure.
