Question Truck just shut off!

So last night i was cruising with my buddy and after he floored it past me, we pulled up to a stop light and i kinda gave it a little gas to make a nice roar out of the exhaust and my truck just shut off?! any ideas of what this cud be? i had to put it into park and start it back up. im kinda befuddled. <--(big word of the day!)

Did you have the wheel turned at all? Sometimes if it is in drive, and you turn the wheel, the power steering pump can make the rpm's drop so low that it shuts off...
