Is it really mascar like nascar? I've heard the incorrect 'mars' and I've heard the what I thought was correct 'moss'carpone, but never that longer 'a' like in nascar.
Ahh, I am not familiar with the Canadian vowel shift.
I don't think it's a southern thing and it's not a long a in Nascar. It's an 'a' as in "apple", instead of an 'a' as in "adore" (almost like an "uhh" but not quite)

My point is, get rid of it. Everyone uses that chewy fondant nowadays.
