New look, naming rights for Winterbottom Camaro

Mark Winterbottom will debut a new livery at the upcoming round in Tasmania, with the 2015 champion to carry CUB CADET colours at three rounds.

Team 18 has unveiled the new-look CUB CADET Racing Camaro which Winterbottom will race in Tasmania, Sandown and the Gold Coast.

The new look is part of a collaboration with DEWALT and Stanley Black & Decker, which is Winterbottom's regular season naming rights partner.

CUB CADET joined Team 18 in 2024 following a recent acquisition by Stanley Black & Decker, which also owns DEWALT, IRWIN and SIDCHROME. The company previously sponsored Brad Jones Racing, with the Albury team running CUB CADET naming rights through the years.

DEWALT colours will return on the #18 entry for the Repco Bathurst 1000 in October and VAILO Adelaide 500 in November.

The new CUB CADET livery was created by designer Nick Moss and brought to life by PPG paint, Metamark and Team 18 sign writer Mitch Croke.

The fresh livery will be shown off to fans for the first time at the Supercars fan event in Hobart on Wednesday August 14, ahead of the NED Whisky Tasmania SuperSprint.

"I’m absolutely thrilled to reveal our stunning new CUB CADET Racing Camaro. The yellow livery is really eye-catching, and it's exciting to see CUB CADET such a prominent place on the car," said Winterbottom, who has claimed podiums at Albert Park and Darwin.

"It’s fantastic to have another brand from the Stanley Black & Decker family join us alongside DEWALT, showing the strength of our partnership.

"I’m really looking forward to hitting the track at Symmons Plains with the new CUB CADET Racing livery. Tasmania is always a great place to race, and the fans there are incredible. With two podiums under our belt this season, we’re aiming to push even harder and bring home some strong results.

"I can’t wait for the fans to see the CUB CADET Camaro up close at the Hobart fan event on Wednesday. It’s always special to interact with the fans, and I’m sure they’ll love the new design as much as we do. Their enthusiasm and support mean a lot to the team and it will be a great way to kick off the race weekend in Tasmania."

Adrian Davis, Stanley Black & Decker Managing Director ANZ, said: "Stanley Black & Decker is thrilled to have another of our iconic brands in CUB CADET as a major sponsor of one of the Supercars.

"We have a strong history of our brands being involved in sponsorship of premier sporting events all over the world, so it makes sense with CUB CADET to have all the family under one roof at Team 18 and leverage the success that DEWALT and many of our other brands have enjoyed with Supercars over the years."

David Kennedy, CUB CADET Brand Manager, added: "CUB CADET is now part of the Stanley Black & Decker family and having CUB CADET as the primary brand on Frosty’s Team 18 Camaro is an extraordinary honour to have.

"For several years, CUB CADET has been actively engaged with Supercars teams. Our dedicated dealers and enthusiastic users share a deep admiration for the power, performance, and control that this premier motorsport championship offers in Australia.

"This year, we are thrilled to have the chance to showcase our brand to a wide audience across Australia and New Zealand during the Tasmania, Sandown, and Gold Coast Supercars rounds, and in the lead up to the start of the mowing and gardening season."
