No idea in this scenario but in aircraft, you want to trade speed for altitude in any failure. It's likely he was trying to gain altitude to work the issue out. Instead it failed and came down.
On CNN earlier they said he called a Mayday and pulled up. That clears you out of the mess of other airplanes and gets you altitude if you do have a problem. Said it was SOP for air races. No idea what happened after that. I have heard a couple of different reports about the plane hitting or not hitting grandstands.
