Justin Yoder

Justin Ross Yoder (born November 9, 1986) was the first child with a disability to drive a soapbox in the All American Soapbox Derby. In 1996, he challenged the regulations to allow children with disabilities to use a hand brake instead of the required foot one. Thanks to him, regulations were changed. The hand brake is now called the Justin Brake in his honor.

Yoder has spina bifida. His story is told in the film Miracle in Lane 2 starring Frankie Muniz.

Yoder is a Mennonite and attends the same church as the film's screenwriters Don Yost and Joel Kauffmann.

As of 2006, Yoder is a student at Goshen College in Goshen, Indiana, and is majoring in American Sign Language Interpreting.
