We go back to the 1980 Springnationals at National Trail Raceway where in the Top Fuel Semi-Finals it was two legends of the sport facing off, Shirley Muldowney and Big Daddy Don Garlits. We love the sound of the cars and the dry hops! | Vintage Drag Racing Shirts

Trailblazers like Shirley Shahan and Shirley Muldowney paved the way for women in the sport of drag racing. Today, there aren’t just women who race… there are women who compete, who set records, and who win. On this National Girls and Women in Sports Day we’re proud to honor the women of the NHRA who continue to inspire the next generation! #NGWSD | NHRA
