There are a handful of women in this world who I've never met, but who have shaped the person I've become today, and Shirley Muldowney is one of those women. I'm honored to be in the latest edition of The Road Rat writing about her impact!
The front cover of the spring 2025 edition of The Road Rat magazine propped up on my bookshelf The title page for my Shirley Muldowney article, which reads: Agenda Spring 2025 #5 Shirley Muldowney: Triple Top Fuel Champion Story by Elizabeth Blackstock The spread of my Shirley Muldowney article in The Road Rat The first two paragraphs of my Shirley Muldowney article, which reads: I still remember the first time I saw her. The cover star of Drag Racing USA's May 1974 issue, she stood out as much for her wild shag hair and pink Top Fuel dragster as for the fact that her pose suggested power, ownership. This woman wasn't just posing with a car, the way I'd seen so many women do on the covers of the other specialist magazines I'd been digging through in my parents' basement; this woman, I could tell, was facing that car. A child, I helped the magazine out to my dad — the man whose magazine collection I was helping sort — and asked, 'Who is that?' That was Shirley Muldowney.

First Lady of Drag Racing Shirley Muldowney (b. #OTD in 1940):

+1st woman to get a license from the Nat'l Hot Rod Assoc to drive a Top Fuel dragster
+Shattered barriers in a male-dominated sport
+Won NHRA Top Fuel championships, 1977, 1980, 1982
+Founder, Shirley's Kids, to help children in need
A color photograph of legendary drag racing pioneer Shirley "Cha-Cha" Muldowney (born June 19, 1940), the first woman to win three NHRA Top Fuel World Championships, smiling warmly from inside a cockpit. Positioned centrally behind a clear windshield within the black roll cage of her pink dragster, she wears a vintage, off-white racing firesuit adorned with prominent sponsor patches including "CHAMPION" and "GOODYEAR," over a black shirt. She has short, styled grey hair, dark-rimmed glasses, small earrings, and a slight, proud smile as she looks off-camera to the left. The prominent pink nose of her race car features black script lettering, with the word "Plymouth" partially visible. In the background, the complex, exposed mechanical components of the dragster sit directly behind her. The setting is a bustling outdoor racetrack at sunset, with a crowded grandstand, event structures, and onlookers visible under a warm, glowing sky. The composition emphasizes her enduring connection to motorsport, evoking an inspiring, celebratory, and historic mood that honors her groundbreaking legacy as a trailblazer who shattered the sport's gender barriers.

RIP Jonathan Kaplan. Here's HEART LIKE A WHEEL (1983), starring Bonnie Bedelia in the role of a lifetime as street car racer Shirley Muldowney. Not seen it since it came out, but IIRC it's s super little film.
