Mike Crawford

Biography

A testament to endurance and determination in SCORE desert racing's most challenging discipline, this Arizona competitor has carved out a reputation as one of the toughest ironmen in the sport. Crawford's most notable achievement came during the grueling 50th BFGoodrich Tires SCORE Baja 1000, where he finished fifth overall in the brutal Pro Moto Ironman class aboard his 778X KTM 500EXC with a time of 39:59:30.300.

The Pro Moto Ironman class represents the ultimate test of solo endurance racing, where competitors tackle the entire Baja peninsula alone on their motorcycles. Of the 19 brave souls who started that legendary race, only six managed to cross the finish line, with Crawford proving his mettle among this elite group of finishers. His fifth-place finish demonstrated not just speed, but the mental fortitude and physical conditioning required to survive one of motorsport's most demanding challenges.

Operating out of New River, Arizona, Crawford continues to compete in SCORE's premier desert racing series, where the unforgiving terrain of Baja California separates the pretenders from the true desert warriors. His commitment to the sport's most challenging class exemplifies the spirit of adventure that defines SCORE desert racing.
