Crawford was born in Charlotte, North Carolina on 2 May 2005, and started his karting career in 2011 after he moved to the Houston, Texas area. He competed in multiple championships, predominantly in North America, winning the Challenge of the Americas – Junior Rotax Series among others. In Crawford's first overseas karting race in 2014 at the Rok Cup International Championship, while only nine years old, he finished second.

Crawford achieved more glory in the later part of his karting career, included a win during the 2016 Florida Winter Tour, and further triumphs in the 2017 SKUSA SuperNationals and the Challenge of the Americas.
In 2018, Crawford made his car racing debut in the NACAM Formula 4 Championship, driving for Scuderia Martiga EG. He took the standings lead following three rounds after two wins and finishing all but two races on the podium.

Despite winning four of the final six races, Crawford finished runner-up to Sulaimán by 44 points.

In ADAC F4, Crawford took both poles for the opening weekend in Lausitzring, but lost both to teammate and Red Bull Junior Team member Jonny Edgar in the races. Following a trio of second places in the next two rounds, Crawford took his first win from pole position during the first race in Nürburgring despite late rainfall. He then locked out the podium in the following round at the Red Bull Ring, which included a win during the final race. A win in the second Lausitzring round slashed Edgar's points lead heading into the season finale. There, Crawford took the title lead by winning the first two races in Oschersleben, but lost the title by two points by finishing sixth in the final race, as to Edgar's second place. Nevertheless, Crawford finished runner-up in the standings, scoring five wins and twelve podiums throughout the season.
In the Italian championship, Crawford did not compete in the opening Misano round, but raced in Imola took two podiums. He would take his first Italian F4 win in Austria, and secured another triumph in the second Imola round on a weekend where he locked out the podium.

In April 2019, Crawford joined DEForce Racing to contest part of the 2019 season as he was not old enough to start the racing season. In July, he switched to Cape Motorsports to contest the final five rounds and ended the season seventh in the standings.
