He had an accident when he was young in high school, and it left him paralized from the waist down.
This is all I could find on him.
It was a car accident.

How did 'Bootie' Barker get his nickname? How did he end up in a wheelchair?
Have never been able to get an answer to why crew chief Robert 'Bootie' Barker is nicknamed 'Bootie' past speculation and the crew chief of the #70 Hass CNC Racing Chevy [as of 2007], will not say.
As for the wheelchair, answers.com reports: He was paralyzed from the waist down after suffering injuries in a car accident while a senior in high school. Barker has since overcome his injuries to be a respected crew chief and one of NASCAR's most brilliant minds.(3-31-2007)
