Full-length Replay: Shirley
“Shirley” is the real story of the inimitable Shirley Muldowney. Salty, sassy, unflappable – Shirley crushed stereotypes and became an integral part of the gritty, golden age of drag racing. Her aggressive approach fueled intense rivalries, passionate fan reactions, and sometimes caustic headlines but never derailed her quest to be a champion. She’d be the first woman to earn a license to drive a Top Fuel dragster, the first woman to win a professional racing championship, and the first DRIVER to win THREE Top Fuel Championships. Shirley’s journey came with great personal costs, but her perseverance proved women could race equally with men. Controversial, inspirational, and fiercely honest – there is only one Shirley and luckily, she was up to the challenge.
