McHale, who worked for Honda from 2003 to 2019, was a longtime fixture at the Grand Prix. He died in December from colon cancer at age 68.
To those in both worlds, he was known simply as “T.E.”
McHale, a Torrance resident who worked as a longtime Honda executive, was a fixture at the Grand Prix for years. Terry McHale, his younger brother, accepted the award on his behalf.“It’s a privilege for me to accept this award for Tom,” said Terry McHale, choking through tears. The award is named after Allen Wolfe, a late sportswriter for the Press-Telegram and known as the Grand Master of the Grand Prix. It honors a person who made a significant contribution to the Grand Prix.
In presenting the award, Grand Prix Association of Long Beach CEO and President Jim Michaelian called McHale a “great gentleman.”
