You are correct, Shirley won more than one Funny Car event.  Here is what it says at Racer Chicks:

"In 1971 the demise of the NHRA top gas (T/G) class she was competing in, helped force a change in her career direction. She stepped up to the category of funny car (F/C) comprised of nitromethane burning fuel coupes. These were tubular chassis cars with fiberglass bodies, awkward looking, dangerous, and very difficult to drive. At her first F/C race in Lebanon Valley, New York, she won the event.

She expanded her efforts by racing in more than one sanction and in 1971 won her first national event with the International Hot Rod Association (IBRA) at their Southern Nationals race in Rockingham, N. Carolina. The following season she took the runner up spot at the very same race."
