[edit] Plot summary

Frankie Muniz (TV's Malcolm In The Middle) stars as Justin Yoder. It is inspired by a true life story of the real Justin Yoder. Justin is a wheelchair user due to spina bifida. He lives with his parents and older brother Seth (Patrick Levis). Justin discovers a soapbox car in his neighbor's garage. With his neighbor's help, he builds a soapbox car of his own and enters it in the local contest. Justin wins and wishes to enter more such contests. Justin's older brother is jealous and upset that their parents spend more time and energy on Justin rather than on the two brothers equally. Justin is also helped by God, who in the film takes the form of a professional race car driver, Bobby Wade in the real story it was Michael Schumacher. When Justin needs to have yet another shunt revision, the family has to decide whether the soapbox competition is worth the potential damage to Justin's health. Justin's brother, Seth, has a change of heart about his brother after the operation. The end of the movie, shows Justin asking God if there are any wheelchair users in Heaven, and God shows him a Heaven where there are people both with and without wheelchairs, all together. Justin goes to wheelchair heaven, also know as a "Hell in Heaven". The ending credits of the movie show the real Justin Yoder in photographs and home movies with a brief epilogue.

Note: Although there is a 2 in the film's title, it is not a sequel to any previous film. It's talking about "Lane 1" "Lane 3" etc.
