I believe the wording is just wrong in the game. It says "stay no closer than 55 yards..." or "tailgate by 55 yards" which leads you to logically conclude that you should be at least 55 yards behind some car (first or last or something) after the first lap.

After failing about 7 times trying different tactics, I decided to tailgate the 1st place car as close as I could---which contradicts what it says to do---and I was able to pass the level.

Hope that helps.
