If you were low on gas, then it was probably fuel slosh.

It's fuel starvation. When you spin the car that fast, the fuel goes to one side of the tank. If you have less than half a tank, that will most likely be enough that the fuel pickup cannot get anything, thus the car dying from fuel starvation.
