About the Justice Brothers and their Company

The Justice Brothers were associated with cars and speed since the earliest years of their life. Growing up tn Paola, Kansas, they started driving before they were teenagers.  After World War II was over, Frank Kurtis started Kurtis-Kraft and  Zeke Justice became his first employee. It was just a matter of time until Ed Justice joined Zeke at Kurtis-Kraft. Both were part of a small crew that constructed a reported 500 midget cars. Zeke was also part of the team that built the legendary Novi engine powered Indy car.  During their time at Kurtis-Kraft, they started a racecar repair and fabrication shop they operated during their free hours of nights and weekends. It was called Justice Brothers Racecar Repair & Fabrication. They built a midget car for themselves during this time and after racing it once at Gilmore Stadium in Los Angeles, they sold the car for a $2,500 profit. They subsequently invested this money into the oil business.

In 1946, the Justice Brothers attended their first Indianapolis 500. Zeke was a crewmember on the team of Bayliss Leverett. The brothers also sponsored this car. 4 years later, they won the race as sponsors of Frank Kurtis' factory Indianapolis 500 entry with driver Johnnie Parsons. In 1952, they scored a second place finish with Jim Rathmann driving for Andy Granatelli and his brothers Joe and Vince.

During this time, the Justice Brothers became involved in the formation of a new organization known as NASCAR. They had met Bill France, Sr. by selling him their oil products for use at his service station. They became the first multi-car sponsor in NASCAR with their companies’ logo appearing on virtually every car.

The company has been led for the past 25 years by Ed Justice, Jr. who also is a well-known award winning nationally syndicated radio host. Ed has appeared on numerous radio shows. He is best known as the former host of ROAD & TRACK radio. Ed is currently on MOTOR TREND radio.

In 2012, the Justice Brothers celebrated their 67th year of participation in the Indianapolis 500. In recent years Justice Brothers were supporters of PJ Jones in 2007, son of the 1963 winner Parnelli Jones, Greg Ray, front row qualifier in 1998, Jeff Ward, 2nd place finisher in 1999 and Eddie Cheever 5th place finisher in 2000.

They are also support numerous teams throughout all forms of motor sport around the world. They claimed victory in the 2003 and 2004 24 Hours of LeMans as supporters of the Petersen Motorsports Porsche. The Ferrari team of Risi Competizione was supported by Justice Brothers in the American LeMans Series.

 A  private collection of racing vehicles and classic cars is housed in a building next to the companies’ world headquarters in Duarte, California. Justice Brothers, Inc. continues to manufacture and distribute their line of products for the Automotive, Heavy Equipment/SEMI, Agricultural and Industrial markets.

Their company was founded from the love of the automobile and high performance. From their start building race cars during their teenage years on to today, they havea history and heritage with the automobile and racing that none of their competitors can match.

They've supported racing for over 60 continuous years. They’ve always thought racing is good; it’s part of their roots. It also pushes the limits of their products. Couple that with the fact that their company was founded from the proceeds of the sale of a race car built by the Justice Brothers, they feel it’s important to stay true to their heritage.
