NASCAR's Most Disturbing Driver - Rick Crawford
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июл 2023
- In the late 1990's and early 2000s, Rick Crawford was a star in the making in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. After his racing career ended, he made a serious of poor choices and proved to be one of the worst people who have ever been in NASCAR. His controversy is probably the worst of any driver in recent NASCAR History.

I worked with Rick and always thought he was a great guy. When I found out about this in 2018, I was floored and sickened.
Thats never a good thing to discover
😮wow
I had always wondered if there was any suspicions about Rick…
I never noticed anything about Rick other than his truck being illegal
Im glad bigger NASCAR youtubers are sharing this story. I shared it last year and was shock by some of the replies. Some people were defending him, but Im hoping videos like this will open peoples eyes on what this man did.
How Can Anybody Defend This S&>t!
@@NASCARFAN93100 You would be quite surprised
@@vanillawafer176 Unbelievable
Im guessing the people defending him are right wingers
I m not surprised. Rick did not show any signs or act in a way that would ever make a person think he was like that. In fact, I would not be surprised if it was something he recently slipped into. I still can't defend it, though. As good-natured as he was, child predators are the lowest of the low.
As a kid, and when I first got into NASCAR in mid-2009, especially Trucks, I remember Rick Crawford’s #14 Blue and Orange Ford Truck running and racing on track. (and also seeing the Dega big wreck when he was airborne and when my favorite Truck driver Ron Hornaday was involved). He was one of the big veterans in the Trucks and well respected.
I still can’t believe Rick Crawford became a monster and did what he almost did. He should’ve gotten capital punishment. He has no right to be around in our society. He should’ve been in prison for the remainder of his life.
It’s awful that I grew up watching a child loving creep race. Imagine being a race car driver, doing what a lot of us would wish to do, and you throw it away by doing something terrible….
Even Hitler hated kid fuckers. Let that sink in.
He is absolutely unredeemable
I always got Rick Crawford and Rick Carrelli mixed up back when I was a kid and still do today. What Rick Crawford did was very disgusting 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮.
@@johnvandeventer8668 what if he cures cancer?
@@robertstone9988he's still a POS with a high IQ then. Lol
Rick Crawford is about as disturbing as they come
No shit
Yeah never got good vibes from him.
FYI: The city and track name is pronounced MO BEEL, not mobul.
I remember watching him race also. Had no idea he was a pedo. Thanks for the story, JJ.
Cant believe this guy threw dreams of many away like that.
Hard to really say he threw it all away when he was able to hide his true character for decades and retired from full time driving before he was found out
My dad knew Rick's manager back in the early 2000s. He was the only drover I had ever spent any time around. I used to play around in the backup truck at Michigan races and stuff... even played ps2 Dirt To Daytona against him. I beat him in every series but the dirt lol. When all this came out it blew my mind. He was always super cool and someone I admired as a kid. Very disappointing. I don't think I can even hang up the 14 truck door side I have because of that.
Sadly, it was YEARS LATER, that I found out what he did, and I have to say that it was totally mind-numbing.... and this is a guy that I admired growing up (despite not being a fan). I feel that it is a fair statement to say that everything that he accomplished in NASCAR, will always be overshadowed by this unforgivable act of a complete monster.....
Wow he got what he deserves ❤🎉😊
The first time I heard about Rick Crawford was from when I was young I was watching a playlist of NASCAR flips by NASCAR all out and Crawford was on the list it was not until I think 2018 when Danny B talks made his five NASCAR driver she forgot about serious did I truly begin to know who he was nothing but a disgusting never be famous people. It only causes stuff to become worse.
Surprised Subway didn’t sponsor him
Lmfao.
They probably at the same prison.
I remember being so shocked when I saw that on the news years ago. Very disturbing
Of course, here in the UK we don't have NASCAR or anything like it but I must say I'm finding your videos strangely addictive!
Love the way you delve into the personal stories of the drivers.
We've had a few high profile cases like this (not racing drivers!) and they are always disturbing and revolting.
Good job on a sensitive topic.
I remember looking him up on accident the day it happened.
This is a great channel...I did not know this about Mr. Crawford.
Every person has a weak point. Most are just good at keeping it a secret and not showing it. Statistically, between 0.2 and 0.5% of all men in the world have such tendencies. That's several million. That's why it doesn't surprise me that it hits a NACAR driver. Presumably more drivers or members of the community have such tendencies, which they don't show and don't talk about. PS: This is not an excuse, just facts.
Like Bill Gates and 2/3 of our politicians
I remember him in the truck series. He was a guy you could route for. I can't believe he fell so far so fast.
Joseph lombard and jason jacoby's favorite driver
And Lewis Flockton (NASCAR-Xtra)
Jared Fogle prob was prob convincing Subway to sponsor him instead of Carl and Tony
What ever happened to Lombard I haven’t heard his name in forever and zachery
@@uselesspaprclip5057 Joseph is just busy suing people nowadays. Zach just left social media because of Joseph’s stuff
@@IanTheMotorsportsMan_YTpoor Zach didn’t deserve any of that. Zach didn’t do nothing wrong. I wish he would come back I loved watching his car videos. Wonder if he still has that magnum
And people said in the NASCAR Facebook groups I'm in say Rob Moroso did was worse than what Rick did.
Mike Skinner is forever a hero for preventing Crawford from being a champion🙏
You gonna do Brandon Budd next? I know monster trucks aren't exactly the same but it's a similar situation.
N2SC4R & Jason Jacoby's favorite driver
Crawford fans in 2018: I cant believe I liked that guy!
To me, while it is disgusting that he attempted to solicit a child, it's more sad than anything, because a lot of people, including me, thought he was a humble, down-to-earth guy. It's hard to have his name leave my lips these days, at least when referring to specifically him (I know a different person named Rick Crawford).
Apparently you don't!
Its not mobile as in mobile phone. There's generally 2 ways you can say the name. Moe-bill, or moe-beel. Moe-bill is more common.
I Am So Disgusted Of What Rick Crawford Did.
Bro. It’s Moe-bill not Mobil. Your videos are great tho 🎉
Mobile Alabama isn't pronounced mo-bull, like something that moves. It is mo-beel, like the baby toy.
Like automobile
Pretty sure no one is gonna think that this video is in any way supporting, promoting, or endorsing Rick Crawford in any way.
.... outside of maybe people who see the Sex Offender Registry maps online as advertisements for available singles or some fucked up shit like that....
Getting fooled by a 17yo is one thing, but there's not confusing a 12yo with an adult... Nope, over, done.
I always remember spinning rick crawford out in the trucks in Dirt to Daytona on the PS2. Might have to dust it off just to Ty Gibbs him into the wall again like I did when I was 12 to him
Facts are, it's a numbers thing. There's always going to be that small percentage of twisted minds out there. It never ends, it's a fight eternal.
On a side note, I've known a person similar to this, but even more sickening. I was a sales rep that called on schools, parks, gov entities that I sold equipment to. I worked with this one guy, at a very prestigious school district. This is where the "money" was and everyone knows it around here. So this guy, not only a facilities manager, he also coached youth baseball leagues on the side. Now, I knew this guy, really well, or so I thought. I worked with him for 14 years probably and watched him rise up, always getting promoted. He was married, had a daughter, nice house in the neighborhood. Well, it all came crashing down, I believe it was on a Christmas day when he became EVERYTHING in the news locally for months. You can learn all about it if ya choose - just look for Ottawa Hills child predator - He got 101 years ~ I know some parents of his victims, people who own businesses in the area who's sons were involved, who helped this guy! Promoted him! Supported him! .... and no one knew or suspected anything. This is why people were so outraged because no one saw it coming. No doubt, the same thing here with this NASCAR guy. sure I remember him, quite well really, but means nothing to me. We all know, we all read it. It happens all the time and I think I'm pretty good at "people" , many successful years in customer service and relationship building.... I'm tellin ya man.... Everyone who knew this guy has went over it, and over it in their minds, talking to others almost like a damn support group for "How did we get so fk'n snowed by this guy?" I mean, this is a mentally unstable, out of touch with reality, broken toy that needs constant supervision - How did no one see it? ..... I think the answer is simple, normal human beings do not process information in the way that a predator, serial killer would process information.
The moral of the story is - they never stop, and right now, out there this minute, some sicko is doing thing, planning things, grooming things, so that they can do the exact same thing. And the really scary part? you never know who it is. But, that's why I love these "underage stings" ... It's great an and all, but come on man, Craigslist? So you'll catch some dumdum's occasionally so that's great!
No one seen the Boston stranger, or Jack the ripper coming either!. Only ones that know the truth, is them and God. And God's not talking!. That's why its important to keep tabs on your kids!!!.😢.
he wouldn't be the only one.
I miss raceway park. Thats the one he managed in Kalispell Montana was a great place its gone now😢
I feel bad for his family and fans I can only imagine how I would feel if Jeff Gordon was on the news for something like that.
I always liked him when he was racing. When the news broke I was honestly physically sick.
Always had that wondering eye for the ladies so I kinda figured something was off with him. He used/borrowed some truck equipment towards end of his career and only brought half of it back so he’s a crook too.
"gave a lot back to the fans"
lets just say he gave too much back
Why Rick? Why TF did you do that? You went from having a respectable career to doing this heinous act
Mobeel
I didn't watch NASCAR's Truck Series until 2017 so I never got to watch Rick Race but if there's one thing I learned from this it's that you don't listen to everything you see on Craigslist
i remember i spoke to Brendan Gaughan after the news broke he was disgusted and disappointed in rick since they used to race against each other
He was in Dirt To Daytona (2002) if it gets a remake i hope he gets removed
There is a retexture mod for the Gamecube version on Dolphin and the mod team actually removed his truck from the game
@@NotMattyDYT 👍 👍
Korbin Forrister as well unfortunately
I remember when this happened and couldn't believe it. Also, Mobile is pronounced Mo-beal. You even put a video in that pronounces it correctly.
Your priorities, are why outta wack!.
And then you have Jon Herb, Indycar's version of this.
I dunno, I do wonder though how many others are out there just not caught, charged, and convicted yet though. It makes me kind of wary of getting too close to celebs in general given all the scandals over the past several years when it comes to minors.
From a local, Its pronounced Mo-BEEL not MoBUL
Two months shy of 11 years. I just don't know if that's enough time.
Used to like this driver now it’s just very gross way this all happened.
I'm still trying to figure out what the "Cub" series is.
Smoke another one.
It's MO-BEEL Speedway not like a mobille phone dude
This almost happened to Turk Logan too.
Nascar has done hell of a job keeping this out of the publics eye.
This and the Jeremy Mayfield story. I think the Mayfield story let them know how to help keep the Crawford story out of public eye.
Even thought I don't think they did Mayfield right at all. I meet him for the first time in 2001 and worked on his cars and stuff for years (street cars, rollback and his grounds keepers). Always nice as hell polite and would shoot the shit with me for 15 20 minutes. He was always high strug though. Being setup by police wasn't right.
Crawford though I have no love lost for him. Chomo's is the bottom of the barrel right above politicians, they are lower than chomo's. IMO which I'm about positive now most of them are too.
ah yes, the craigslist predator
A humble suggestion: a video about the crash in the 1984 Daytona 500 consolation race. I never knew what happened in the aftermath.
Part 2: Sean Caisse!
Okay, good video about a horrible human being. But, the city in Alabama is pronounced, "Moe--Bill". Like 2 guys names.
sorry but that to catch a preditor guy can burn in the deepest pit of Tartarus.
Not shocking to me.
Many races do struggle with normal life after racing. What he did is very wrong.
Some you should talk about is how many racer have killed them self
its mo- bill
Not surprising.
Should have had Chris Hansen get this guy
Wasn't Chase Elliott parked from racing for dating a 15 year old?
When did that happen?
He was signed by Hendrick at 15 years old to a development contract, where in the world did you get dating a 15 year old from?
Chase isn't a creep
@@Dupontman627No one thought Rick was a creep either, You just never know what is in someone's brain
Mobile = Mow-Beale
It’s pronounced Mo-Bill, not Mo-bull
Please. For the love of god pronounce Mobile “Mo-Beal”
No one in Alabama calls it “moble”
Rick is edp445 favorite driver 😂
Joseph Lombard, Jason Jacoby, Jared Fogle and Drake Bell's favorite driver as well
You can’t even say the name of his home town right
It’s moe-beal not like mobil 1
That's not how you pronounce Mobile
It’s pronounced Mo-Bill
Seriously? You have never heard that Mobile (the city and bay) is pronounced “Mo-Beal”? Really?
It’s right there in the news report.
Man, I wish the old Rick Crawford is back. But time changes and flies so fast. I really want to go back in time to see him racing in the past. If only Time Machines exists irl, like a Delorean DMC-12 Time Machine from Back To The Future
You need help!.
Save the children
Watch your damn kids, or don't have any!.
Do one on Brian Vickers and his wife.
They have!.
@@ronbeaty6510 send link
Crawford, in my opinion, is the worst Nascar driver in the top 3 divisions, he makes busts like Danica Patrick, JJ Yeley,, Scott Riggs, Natalie Decker, Scott Speed, and David Stremme look like the best current drivers in the sport
Mobile is pronounced Mo-beel
Rick is a hero and map activist in the NASCAR community so is Jason jacoby, Joseph Lombard and Lewis flockton
They’re gonna need a map to find the bodies
@@moistquasar3572 seek help weirdo
Lewis flockton is "nascar extra" nowadays
Why bother making a comment at all!.
rick drawford
Let's face it, mes amis, WOKECAR has become just that, and deserves an inglorious demise.
Shut up bot
"Everything I don't like is woke", and other conservative fever dreams
NASCAR's Most Disturbing Driver, really? Have you never heard if Jeremy Mayfield? You probably do but typical of youtubies who couldn't get a real job, you get your coveted $ comment
This is way worse than Mayfield lol. Not even close.
Well..who's to say he want do a story on Mayfield
