Bill Wildt of Motorsports Unlimited issued the following:

“I guess I can’t put off a decision any longer ... Thanksgiving 2020 is a little over a month away and it doesn’t appear there is going to be a dramatic breakthrough in fighting the COVID19 pandemic. That means, after 25 consecutive years of “Gathering at the Rock” to acknowledge America’s first auto race held on Thanksgiving Day 1895, Motorsports Unlimited will not be there in 2020. It is not an easy decision, but I cannot, in good conscience, participate in something that may help spread this virus ...
Like everyone, I am hopeful this pandemic will be behind us in 2021 (and we’ll all still be here). The risk (however small) is too great to continue this traditional Thanksgiving Day event this year. I look forward to seeing everyone Thanksgiving morning 2021 to continue this important tradition ... The “Rock” isn’t going away ... just demonstrating common sense this year while we collectively struggle with this worldwide plague ...”
You guys (Jake & Ann) and the Chicagoland MG Club have been the largest and longest running supporters of our annual Thanksgiving Day acknowledgement of America’s first auto race. I’m relieved to hear you understand ...
