hildebrand

To run into an obstruction, usually a wall, while leading a race, costing the racer the race win.

Named after Indycar driver J.R. Hildebrand, who hit the wall coming off the final corner in the 2011 Indianapolis 500, giving the race win to the late Dan Wheldon.
I lost that Mario Kart 8 online race on Super Bell Subway when I hildebranded in the subway section.
