SHIRLEY MULDOWNEY & CAMRIE CARUSO Steal Spotlight at IHRA Season Finale

November 9, 2025

• SHIRLEY MULDOWNEY proved she’s still the queen of charm at 93-year-old Don Garlits’ side, working the crowd for her ‘Shirley’s Kids’ charity while keeping fans entertained with her hunt for the perfect signing pen. Her genuine connection with supporters – complaining about eyedrops and fretting over her special pens – reminded us why she’s been beloved for decades.
• The heartwarming moment between former rivals MULDOWNEY and Garlits showed drag racing at its finest, with genuine respect replacing old competition grudges. These legends understand what building the sport really means – it’s about lifting each other up, not tearing each other down.
• CAMRIE CARUSO also made her presence felt at the season finale, collecting autograph requests alongside the sport’s biggest names. While details about her race performance weren’t highlighted, her inclusion in the autograph hunt suggests she’s building her own fanbase in a sport that’s finally making room for women beyond just the pioneers.
