Engine quit after hard run!

I got into it for about 5 seconds and then had to lift off quickly because of an up coming turn. As I entered the turn I realized the engine had quit. I thought, here we go again, It was the same situation as 2 years ago when my vp-44 died just after tapping the pump wire. I cranked it on and off for about 5 min and got nothing. The only thing that gave me hope was seeing another 24 valve truck stall after a dyno run because it some how got air in the lines. After some more cranking it eventually started and acted as if it too had air in the fuel system. Does any body know what happened, and how to avoid it in the future, aside from not letting off too quickly?
thanks

Kevin
