The way I understood it was that Morgan leased the engine to the Jones's for qualifying only. After qualifying the Jones's paid the lease, and Morgan was nice enough to offer the engine for them to continue to use for free during eliminations unless they met in the finals. In which case the Jones's had to give it up. This was a very good day for both racers & Mopar. Nothing wrong was done here.
