Full lineup and starting grid for the Pure Michigan 400 at Michigan International Speedway on Sunday.

Andrew Weber-USA TODAY Sports

Sunday will feature the Pure Michigan 400 at the Michigan International Speedway for the 23rd Sprint Cup race of the 2013 season. The race will be on ESPN at 1 p.m. ET, with a green flag set for approximately 1:16 p.m., according to Jayski.com.

Joey Logano holds the pole position after posting a track record lap of 203.949 miles per hour. He broke Marcos Ambrose’s record of 203.241 mph easily. Kurt Busch and Jimmie Johnson, the second- and third-place qualifiers, also bested that record with their speeds.

The top five rows were rounded out by Mark Martin, Jeff BUrton, Juan Pablo Montoya, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Denny Hamlin, Brad Keselowski and Kyle Busch.

It should be a good race, especially given how close the Sprint Cup Standings have been recently. There’s only 13 more races after this one, so things are getting more and more important. Below, we’ve got the full lineup for Sunday’s race:
