FORT WORTH – Martin Truex Jr. did not deny Joey Logano after last weekend at Martinsville Speedway included profanity.

"I wanted to get his point of view and what he was thinking," Truex told reporters at Texas Motor Speedway on Friday. "What he thought about it. Now I know. "

That knowledge did not change how True does it feel about Logano nudging him just in front of Martinsville. Like he did minutes after his third-place finish Sunday, Truex again dropped a "cheap shot" on Friday.

There's little chance Truex will seek retribution at Sunday's AAA Texas 500 (3 p.m. ET, NBCSN), where Ryan Blaney will start on the pole as Ford swept the top five qualifying slots. Plus, Logano's Martinsville is locked up in the Championship 4, so here it would be fairly hollow.

Truex, who qualified 13th on Friday, is among the seven remaining drivers for the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series championship at the season finale on Nov. 18 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

"I'm not going to let that happen last week," Truex said. "I think it's something that stays on the top of your mind – if you get a certain situation where it would be wise to remember what happened. That's there. I really have not thought past that. I know what's on the line this weekend. "

Logano said he was in no hurry to contact Truex via text after his No. 22 Team Penske Ford bumper made contact with Truex's No. 78 Furniture Row Racing Toyota.

"I can not say I was surprised that he texted me," Logano said. "I am glad he did not. It kind of broke the ice. I was planning on waiting for a couple days. It got a lot of things out of the way. We both know where we stand. "

The budding driver spotted Kyle Busch and Brad Keselowski's running feud. Yet.

"I guess that's just the way it's going to be," said Busch, who won at Texas this spring and qualified 10th Friday as he seeks entry into the Championship 4. "I guess that's going to be the new norm eventually of some sort. Overall, it's just there that you guys would not like those spells of things. "

Busch spun out Truex late in a race at Bristol in August, leading to frustration. Truex told reporters afterward that he did not think Busch wrecked him on purpose.

"Some people think it's perfectly fine to knock a guy out of the way to get a win," Truex said. "In my opinion, it's not. We all think differently. It's the way I've ever done it. Whether it's Go-Karts or Modified cars. No matter what it was, that's the way I was taught to race.

"You race fair.You can just say that every single win I've had, I've got it, it's just the way it is."
