NASCAR’s Jeb Burton: Talladega Heartbreak, Hounds & Habitat | 100% Wild Podcast Ep. 442

NASCAR Xfinity driver Jeb Burton drops by the studio to talk racing, Talladega heartbreak, and why race-day prep feels a lot like bow season. We get into self-filming realities, conservation easements (and his dad’s foundation protecting 12K+ acres), and the hot-button topic of deer hunting with hounds in the South: what good clubs do right, what gives it a bad name, and how tech changed the game. We wrap with a rapid-fire “Fast Lap” on favorite seasons, first birds, and bucket-list hunts.
