I'd be willing to wager with this recent spike in hospitalizations and increases in cases around the country, and how tough it would be to keep any kind of cleanliness/social distancing considering things like those overflowing porta-potties, there will NOT be a Mopar Nats this year.
I don't see how they could properly operate that particular venue safely without a lot of system changes.
If you're younger, and completely healthy, with very little serious complication risk, have at it, but if you know you have health and risk factors that might cause you serious bodily harm, this is exactly the kind of gathering you need to steer clear of at this time. The shoulder to shoulder proximity at the vendor and swap area would be prime breeding ground. Just my opinion.

Or, if they do choose to hold it, it's going to be a very condensed version, but it's been shrinking down for a lot of years already if you've attended regularly over the decades.

I’ve missed one Mopar Nationals in 32 years. This will be my second one. I’m 61 with no health issues but believe in steering clear of this virus if at all possible. Same deal with the US Nationals in Indy. Let the people who don’t care about getting Covid have at it.
Just my 2 cents.

If the event is running I'll be there. Have been a spectator since the beginning and finally have an opportunity/time to be a participant.
Not really worried or concerned about covid-19. I worked in the field meeting contractors and customers daily in Chicago and New York from the start. Still kicking w/o a sniffle. I understand those with underlying conditions being nervous. Thats just not me.
Ok

It may still be a go but are they only going to allow racers and crew and ax the swap meet and car show part
Right now their only letting in racers and crew from my understanding
71 demon stock stroke 440/indy ez-1 running 10.10 @ 132.14 mph in the 1/4 and 6.36 @ 107.46 mph in the 1/8 not in the same weekend but It did it then I sold it.

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

Seeing the nationals die from the virus is a fitting end for that mess. A lot of people go and have a good time,I'd hate to see anything or anybody die from the virus.

I don't get why alot of people dog the Nats. Bathrooms and golf carts? You really want a large Mopar only show to fold? Not me. I agree. Its a great show. Who would use those bathrooms anyway  I never have in YEARS. But then guys I used to work with would use the bathrooms AT WORK first thing in the morning instead of going at home. Never understood that. I taught my sons to ship, shower and shave in THAT order for a reason.
