About Justin Yoder

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

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

Yoder is a Mennonite and attends the same church as Miracle in Lane 2 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.[citation needed]
