Is their any by chance is their a combination with TNT and NBC, because I was watching the playoffs (Philidelphia -vs- Toranto, WIN OR GO HOME!!!) and I saw the Nascar commercial and ists will be on TNT and NBC. First, the Pretender and E.R., now Nascar?..... ALL RIGHT! Maybe in the future they will put Toonami on TNBC!!!

>>>Is their any by chance is their a combination with TNT and NBC,

A "combination" = "partnership"/"part of the same company", you mean? The answer would be "no"; NBC is owned by General Electric, and TNT is owned by AOL Time Warner.

>> because I was watching the playoffs (Philidelphia -vs- Toranto, WIN OR GO HOME!!!)

Um...which team, Philadelphia or Toronto? (I'm guessing Robert's rooting for the team from the City of Brotherly Love :-)

>>and I saw the Nascar commercial and ists will be on TNT and NBC. First, the Pretender and E.R., now Nascar?..... ALL RIGHT!

You say so... (says the decidedly-couldn't-be-less-interested-in-auto-racing-guy who lives within a stone's throw from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway...). :-)

At any rate, when series' reruns are sold into syndication/to cable networks, it doesn't necessarily mean the network and seller are in a partnership/part of the same company (see: Nick-at-Nite, TV Land). Thus, whoever made the Pretender/ER (which'd be private production companies and not NBC AFAIK) has presumably arranged to sell the repeats to the cable networks (along with/other than syndicated reruns). Thus, the NASCAR folks television broadcast rights is free to sell it to the highest-bidding network...

Not a chance; see above (plus, NBC's permanently bailed from the animation business about 8 years ago in favor of live-action/local TV stations airing morning news shows, news being financially lucrative these days for local television stations)...

Notes how Mindy's neighborhood in "The Mindy 500" looks a bit like the suburb the Motor Speedway's located in (named, well, "Speedway")
