AKRON, Ohio – Real life beat Hollywood to the finish line at the 73rd Annual All-American Soap Box Derby on Saturday.

With actor-director Corbin Bernsen filming the movie “Hill 25,” based on the Soap Box Derby, 14-year-old Sean Brown rolled to victory in the Rally Super Stock Division in a way that no script writer ever imagined.

He won in the car that had been driven by his late sister Carol Anne. She was 18 when she committed suicide last year on Easter Sunday.
