BROOKLYN, Mich. -- Joey Logano has won the pole for the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Michigan International Speedway.Its Loganos third pole in 16 Cup races at MIS, and the previous two times he won the pole, he also went on to win the race. That includes his victory at Michigan in June.In fact, three of the last four race winners at Michigan also took the pole -- Logano this year, Matt Kenseth last August and Jeff Gordon in August of 2014.Obviously starting up front here is an advantage for sure when you talk about track position and safety on restarts, being how crazy it is with the low-downforce package on restarts, Logano said. Having the first pit stall is probably the most important of all that.Logano won Friday with a lap of 201.698 mph in his No. 22 Ford. Jimmie Johnson was second in qualifying for Sundays race, followed by Denny Hamlin.Logano has won 17 poles in his Cup career and three in 2016.Johnson won twice early this season but has only two top-10 finishes in his last 10 races, so his strong showing in qualifying was encouraging.All signs are pointing toward progress being made and Im very excited about that.

Ive sat on the couch most of the year. This is my seventh time racing this year. ... Its been a rough year -- obviously not what I expected or where I wanted to be -- but everything happens for a reason and maybe the reason was for me to be here and get into this thing.ESPN staff writer Bob Pockrass and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
