Miracle in Lane 2 is a 2000 Disney Channel Original Movie starring Frankie Muniz, Rick Rossovich, Molly Hagan, and Patrick Levis.

Plot

The movie tells the true story of Justin Yoder (played by Frankie Muniz), a boy born with spina bifida and hydrocephalus, who is confined to a wheelchair. He lives with his overprotective mom and dad, and his brother Seth (Patrick Levis), who is a jock. Due to his disability, Justin desperately wants to find something he can do that will make him feel special. For guidance, Justin turns to God, who in the film takes form as a famous race-car driver Bobby Wade, during his journey.

After discovering a soapbox racer in his neighbor's shed, Justin hopes to participate in soapbox racing and eventually finds a love and talent for the sport. To accommodate Justin's handicap, his dad and their neighbor Vic build a customized racer with a handbrake (which they call the "Justin Brake"). Meanwhile, Seth feels that his parents focus too much on Justin rather than giving the boys equal treatment. However, he has a change of heart when Justin crashes during a race.

The family is confronted with the idea that Justin's involvement with the sport may be hazardous to his health. At the end of the film, Justin asks God if people are perfect when they go to heaven. In response God shows him a vision of heaven where there are people with and without wheelchairs, all together, to which Justin happily replies "perfect".

As a tribute to Justin Yoder, live video clips are shown of him before the credits.
