FORT WORTH, Texas — Joey Logano isn’t sure if everything is good with Martin Truex Jr. after last weekend’s finish, noting “I think time will tell.”
Truex and Logano exchanged texts last Sunday after Logano bumped Truex out of the lead on the last lap to win at Martinsville Speedway and secure a spot in the championship race later this month in Miami.
“I can’t say I was surprised that he texted me,” Logano said. “I am glad he did. It kind of broke the ice. I was planning on waiting a couple days to let things settle. It got a lot of things out of the way. We both know where we stand. We know where it is at. It is what it is and we move on.”
Asked Friday at Texas Motor Speedway about where things stand with Truex, Logano said: “I think time will tell. I think he was a little frustrated and that is part of it. I also think it is short track racing. I think we both understand that there was so much on the line and that is what happens sometimes.
“Like I said, it is short track racing. That bump-and-run move, although that was probably the most popular one of the whole race because it was for the win on the last lap, probably happened 10 or 15 times before that and it didn’t get covered. It is a classic move in NASCAR that happens a lot, every time we go there, whether it is on lap 20 or lap 499.”
