What happened.......?

I was out last night on the highway and decided to give it my best and I got my car all the way up to 109mph (not an easy task) and then it felt like I hit a HUGE wall of air and instantly slowed down about 3mph when I know I didnt hit an air wall. But my air/fuel gauge stopped reading when whatever happened did happen. I thought my car cut off but everything seemed to be running fine. What happened at that speed?

Speed limiter.

My Dakota would do that everytime I got it to 115mph. It would cruise at 114 all day long but the moment I hit 115 the computer shut the fuel off untill I dropped back down to 110, then it turned the fuel back on.
