I think caddies will still be upfront with a heavy challenge from Penske, if Joest get the car in line then Mazda could be up front in quali (can't see them having legs for full race though).

If the way Montoya's raving about the ARX-05 is any indication, I'd say it's a coin toss between Caddy and Acura. I don't think Joest will really push the Mazda in qualifying until the first sprint race - you don't really need a good qualifying run to win an endurance race and no matter how well the testing has gone, and their work isn't "proven" until they race it so it wouldn't be a bad idea to save the car in qualifying and make sure their hard work has paid off in-race before they pushing 110% all the time.
