Payton's injured left leg was successful and he should be able to

Saints host Indianapolis on Sunday night.

UNDATED (AP) - NASCAR driver Jimmie Johnson says IndyCar should
stop racing on ovals and stick to road courses. The five-time
defending driving champ says he was glued to his television Sunday
watching the coverage of Indianapolis 500 winner Dan Wheldon's
death in the IndyCar season finale on the oval at Las Vegas Motor
Speedway. Johnson believes the IndyCar cars are built for street
circuits and road courses, and drive too fast to race on ovals.
