American Le Mans Series (ALMS) president Scott Atherton confirmed the race was part of the schedule for the 2013 American Le Mans Series schedule in October 2012. It was the fifteenth consecutive year the event was held as part of the American Le Mans Series. The 2013 Mobil 1 SportsCar Grand Prix was the fifth of ten scheduled sports car races of 2013 American Le Mans Series. The race was held at the ten-turn Canadian Tire Motorsports Park in Bowmanville, Ontario, Canada on July 21, 2013.

Qualifying In qualifying for the PC category, a crash by Mike Gausch forced the session to be stopped. Due to not completing a minimum of ten minutes, the qualifying results for PC were nullified and the grid order was set by championship points. As a result of PC cars requiring a separate grid order, the final race grid was altered so that cars in the same category were grouped together, even if outqualified by a car from another class.
