Tempers flared on the track Sunday during the qualifying stages of a $50,000 go-kart race at Clay City Kart Speedway. The championship race was run at night.

The fronts of businesses on Ky. 15 in Clay City on Sunday were adorned with signs that read "Welcome Karters." More than 600 go-karters from 41 states descended on this town of less than 1,500 for a chance to win the single largest payout in karting history — $50,000 for first place in a race dubbed "The Insane One."
