In 2009, Barrett expressed an interest in running IndyCar Series races after the series merged with Champ Car. At the Nationwide Series race at Kansas Speedway, he officially announced that he had joined Team 3G full-time to drive the No. 98, while also running 19–21 races in the Nationwide Series. In his IndyCar debut at the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, Barrett qualified 21st and finished 12th, four laps behind race winner Ryan Briscoe. Barrett struggled during the season, including failing to qualify for the Indianapolis 500 and missing the ABC Supply Company A.J.

In 2006, Barrett and nine other NASCAR drivers competed in the Geoff Bodine Bobsled Challenge, a charity race for the Bo-Dyn Bobsled Project; Barrett finished third overall, the only driver to finish in the top three in the event's two races.

In 2004, Barrett returned to Nextel Cup driving the No. 94 Chevrolet for W.W. Motorsports. He failed to finish a race for the team and was replaced by Derrike Cope. Later in the year, he joined Means-Jenkins Motorsports to drive the No. 92 for the race at Dover, but failed to qualify.

In 2003, he signed with Roush Racing and finished in the top-ten four times, but Odoban ended its sponsorship after 15 races, forcing the team to close down. He returned to driving his own car for the remainder of the season, but only finished one race at Lowe's Motor Speedway. Barrett continued driving for his team in 2004, and joined DCT Motorsports for the 2005 season, scoring his only top ten of the season at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. For the 2008 NAPA Auto Parts 200 at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Barrett fielded a ride for himself and his father Stan. In a race marred by rain, the two finished 25th and 39th, respectively.

In 1999, Barrett announced his intention to compete part-time in the Winston Cup Series, running for Rookie of the Year honors with PBH Motorsports, with plans to run full-time in 2000. During testing for General Motors at Daytona International Speedway, Barrett was the sixth-fastest driver with a speed of 185.624 miles per hour (298.733 km/h). However, he failed to qualify for the Daytona 500. He attempted the Budweiser Shootout qualifier for drivers who ran the fastest in 2nd-round-qualifying in 1999, but crashed on the first lap with Jimmy Spencer, Rick Mast and Kenny Wallace.

In 1996, Barrett made a IMSA GT Championship start at Road Atlanta in the Grand Prix of Atlanta, driving a Chevrolet Camaro for Shaver Motorsports with Jack Willes as a co-driver. After qualifying 14th, the team finished 13th overall and fifth in the GTS-1 class. He returned to sports car racing in 2017, competing in the Trans-Am Series's TA class in the No. 33 Chevrolet.

Barrett first started racing when he was 16 in karts, winning 21 races in 28 starts. In 1992, Barrett started racing in NASCAR's Busch North Series, his debut coming at the Big Apple Food Stores 200 at Oxford Plains Speedway at the age of 19; Barrett finished 21st, eleven laps behind race winner Joe Bessey. He also ran in the NASCAR Dash Series, funding the car with money earned as a stuntman for the movie Freejack. Despite running as high as second in points, crashes relegated his final finish in the standings to sixth.

During the 1992 season, Busch Series driver Clifford Allison was killed in a crash at Michigan International Speedway, leaving a ride open for Barrett. He made a few limited starts with his own team in the series for several years, and in his sixth career start, finished 5th at the spring race at Atlanta in 1996.

His father, Stan Barrett who was also a Hollywood stuntman raced in 19 Winston Cup Series races between 1980 and 1990, posting two top ten finishes, along with running in the Nationwide Series in 2008. He is the godson of Paul Newman, and the grandson of Dave and Roma McCoy, the founders of Mammoth Mountain Ski Area.
