Heart Like a Wheel
“She did something women were forbidden to do, and became a World Champion.”
Shirley Muldowney is determined to be a top-fuel drag racer, although no woman has ever raced them before. Despite the high risks of this kind of racing and the burden it places on her family life, she perseveres in her dream.
