'''Competitive Edge Motorsports''' is a former [[NASCAR]] [[Nextel Cup]] Series team. It fielded the No. 51 [[Marathon Oil]] [[Chevrolet]]. Its principal owner was former [[NFL]] player [[Joe Auer]].

CEM debuted at the [[2004 in NASCAR|2004]] [[Coca-Cola 600]] with [[Kevin Lepage]] driving, finishing 43rd after suffering overheating failures. After running four more races with Lepage, all resulting in DNF's, [[Tony Raines]] took over the driving duties, his best finish being 28th at [[Dover International Speedway|Dover]]. In [[2005 in NASCAR|2005]], [[Auto Racing Club of America|ARCA]] racer [[Stuart Kirby]] began driving, qualifying for seven races, posting a best finish of 31st. [[Mike Garvey]] drove for the team in 2006, but after Joe Auer became concerned with the lack of performance and under funding, the team decided to allow [[Petty Enterprises]] finish off their sponsorship obligation.
