Fans who missed the premiere of "Shirley," a new documentary about the life and career of three-time NHRA Top Fuel world champion Shirley Muldowney, will be able to catch subsequent re-airs on FS2.

The show will air again on Saturday, March 23 at 7:30 a.m. ET and Wednesday, March 27 at 2 p.m. ET. Both will air on FS2.

According to the producers, “Shirley is the true, unfiltered story of the inimitable Shirley Muldowney. Salty, sassy, and unflappable, Muldowney crushed stereotypes and became an integral part of the gritty, golden age of drag racing. Her aggressive approach fueled intense rivalries, passionate fan reaction, and occasional 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, first woman to win a professional racing championship, and the first driver to win three Top Fuel championships. Her 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.”
