Barnes is also known for his nickname and online handle AirDoug. He has stated that it originated from an incident during a NASCAR Weekly Series race at Dominion Raceway, where he and Tyler Hughes were involved in a crash and Barnes jumped on top of Hughes' car. [3] [4] Barnes would be given a suspension by NASCAR until August 14 of that year and handed a 1.000 USD fine, while Hughes was rendered unconscious from the crash and was taken to a nearby hospital but was released afterwards. [5]

Barnes has also competed in series such as the Virginia Late Model Triple Crown Series, the Ultra Racing Association, the Southeast Limited Late Model Series, the INEX Winter Heat Series, and the NASCAR Weekly Series. [6] [7] [8]
