TORONTO, July 10 (UPI) -- Actor Dan Aykroyd said Sunday he was pulled over for speeding while on his way to the Honda Indy Toronto.

Aykroyd, grand marshal of the car race, was let go with a warning by the police officer, TSN reported. "You know when you see these races, you want to get into your vehicles and drive home and you do it trying to imitate the driver. That won't be me this afternoon," he said.

The 59-year-old Ottawa native, famous for being an original cast member of "Saturday Night Live," and starring in movies such as "Ghostbusters" and "The Blues Brothers," said he would be watching the drivers with interest, but was mostly hoping for a safe race.

"I'm hoping that I start a race safely and that it ends safely," he said. "That the most skilled driver wins, that's all that I can hope for today."
