For Debbie and I, Miss Judy is the First Lady of Drag Racing. When we raced Stock Eliminator she was there with words of encouragement, spare parts and food! From watching our kids to assuring us we really did have a chance to beat that fast Chevy truck, Judy was our rock. We will miss her dearly.

I was very saddened to hear of the passing of Judy. She was one of the dearest, most sweet kind hearted person I have ever known. Always treated me with respect and this was to the kid who worked next door. She is the only person that I know personally who ever won a Wally. She will be greatly missed. Dawn and I will keep all of you in our prayers. May God Bless you in your time of greif. Again our condolances to all of you. She will not be forgotten.

I could not believe the news of Judy's passing. At our recent class reunion many of us became re-acquainted and planned to start luncheons with the girls from our class. Judy was to be a part of that also. I only recently found out that we lived so close to the McCormack's and I had hoped to get over to see her. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with all the McCormack's and that I know God will give you strength at this very sad time. Sincerely, Ruth (Fetzer) Rogan

Dear Jack and Family,
Judy was a true role model of a wife, mother, grandmother, and a wonderful woman. My heart goes out to all of you.

We are so very sadden to hear of Judy's passing.....our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Mccormack family. Although I never had the pleasure of personally knowing Judy....my husband did and he has always had great respect for this racing family.....I do remember her always having a smile on her face and visiting amongst her fellow racers in the staging lanes. That smile will be greatly missed.
Sincerely, Mitch and Denise Truman

Mr. McCormack, Jenny, Jason and John,

I am so saddened and shocked by the loss of a person who so greatly helped to shape me into the person I am today. In high school, I spent so much of my youth over at the McCormack house that I often thought Judy as one of my moms. The memories of all the conversations over the kitchen counter have never been forgotten. Thank you for all of the memories, advice and good times.


Love,

Laura Schippa
