Unhappy Car Cut Off After a Race!! Help Please!!

OK so i was racing a srt8 Charger on the freeway and kicked his ***. Anyway as im driving home my car bogs down alot and then i noticed when i tried to hit the gas it would accelerate at all and just cut off! Then i tried to keep starting it and it did start every single time but then it was a real rough vibration and the car just shaked hard then cut right back off every time. This has actually happened before where it bogged down and i couldnt accelerate at all but then eventually if i keep tapping the gas it will eventually straighten out and ill be fine but this time it just cut off and that was it..any idea whats wrong?? thanks for the help!

Out of gas, clogged fuel filter, fuel pump going out. Your MAF could have taken a dump also.

wasnt out of gas. just changed fuel filter. I dont think its the fuel pump becasue when i open the cap it made that little noise of air for like 5 secs. I actually thought of the MAF. Also i just added a k &n filter and thinking it couldve possibly to oily leaked onto it or something. any other suggestions?

could of sucked oil onto the maf, they don't like oil, get some carb cleaner and spray it real good, especially the thin wire in the center.
