Team 18 has revealed the bold new livery for Anton De Pasquale’s #18 DEWALT Racing Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 ahead of the 2025 Repco Supercars Championship.

DEWALT continues its long-standing partnership with Team 18 as the primary backer of the #18 Camaro. As the world’s largest power tool company and the flagship brand of Stanley Black & Decker, DEWALT’s presence in the paddock is stronger than ever. In 2025, Team 18 and Stanley Black & Decker will celebrate a decade of partnership, highlighting their enduring commitment to the sport.

The 2025 DEWALT Camaro features a striking new look, combining a gloss yellow base with sleek black styling—ensuring it stands out on the grid. Later in the season, fellow Stanley Black & Decker brand Cub Cadet will take on naming rights for three rounds, further strengthening the partnership.

De Pasquale launched the partnership with a humorous online video, trying to source a host of products in a list provided by team owner Charlie Schwerkolt. The video also features cameos from DEWALT influencer Joel from Heidi Build, teammate David Reynolds, and Team 18 mechanics.

De Pasquale finished 11th in the standings in 2024 and claimed the Jason Richards Memorial Trophy in Supercars’ debut at Taupō, New Zealand.

For the 2025 season, De Pasquale will work alongside race engineer Andrew Donnelly, another key off-season signing for the team.

The #18 DEWALT Racing Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 will be supported by returning partners Hino, Fuchs Lubricants, Industrial Batteries Australia, Seiko, East Coast Car Rentals, Waverley Forklifts, Tree Clean Up Specialists, Barry Bourke Motors, JAX Tyres & Auto, Manitou, Ozwide Joinery. Taubmans, Authentic Collectables, AC Delco Batteries, RYCO Filters, D2N Technology Solutions, Alpinestars, Pacific Ears, Ball & Doggett, Mechanix Wear, The Cover Shop, Bowden’s Own Premium Car Care Products and Style Print.

The team also welcomes new partners Hungry Jack’s, IVE Group, Graphic Art Mart, and High Sierra for the upcoming season.

Designed by Nick Moss, the 2025 DEWALT Racing livery was brought to life using PPG paint and vinyl supplied by Graphic Art Mart, with application by Team 18 Team Manager and Signwriter Mitch Croke.

The #18 DEWALT Racing Camaro will hit the track for a shakedown at Winton Motor Raceway on February 13, followed by the official Supercars Pre-Season Test at Sydney Motorsport Park on February 19.

The 2025 Repco Supercars Championship kicks off under lights at the Sydney 500 on February 21-23, live on Channel 7 and Fox Sports.

Adrian Davis – Managing Director, Stanley Black & Decker ANZ

“Stanley Black & Decker is once again proud to partner with Team 18 and the #18 Chevrolet Camaro, now with Anton De Pasquale behind the wheel.

“2025 marks 10 years of Stanley Black & Decker brands on a Team 18 super car. From SIDCHROME, IRWIN, DEWALT and more recently CUB CADET we are happy to reach this milestone.

“This year we are excited again to continue with DEWALT as the naming rights sponsor while also introducing Cub Cadet as a secondary sponsor for select rounds.

“Charlie Schwerkolt, Adrian Burgess, and the entire Team 18 crew are fantastic ambassadors for our company and brands, and we’re looking forward to an exciting season ahead.”

Anton De Pasquale – Driver, #18 DEWALT Racing Camaro

“It’s awesome to be here at Team 18 and part of DEWALT Racing. The car looks fantastic—the gloss yellow and black make it really pop, and I think it’s going to stand out on track. The team has done an incredible job bringing the livery to life.

“I’m proud to represent DEWALT, one of the world’s biggest tool companies and a key partner of Team 18 for almost a decade. It’s exciting to join that legacy and work closely with DEWALT throughout the year.

“I’ve settled in well—the team is super welcoming and very professional. I was lucky to get some early laps at Bathurst, and with our shakedown at Winton and the pre-season test at Sydney, we’ll be in a strong position heading into Round 1.

“With the new Supercars finals system and the introduction of a new tyre, adapting quickly will be crucial. We want to be in the mix when the finals roll around in Adelaide, and getting on top of the new tyre early will be key.

“I can’t wait to hit the track and get the season started!”

Charlie Schwerkolt – Team 18 Owner

“We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with DEWALT and Stanley Black & Decker as we enter a new chapter with Anton De Pasquale in the #18 DEWALT Racing Camaro.

“Celebrating a decade of partnership with Stanley Black & Decker makes this season even more special. Their unwavering support has been instrumental in our journey, and we’re proud to continue building on this incredible relationship in 2025.”

“The gloss yellow and black livery marks a fresh new look for the team, and I have no doubt it will be a fan favourite both trackside and on TV.

“With the backing of our valued partners and the dedication of our team, we’re set for an exciting 2025 season. We’ve made key off-season improvements, and we’re determined to push forward, deliver strong results, and make this a season to remember.”
