4,5,6 million dollars. I've heard Danica contract is worth over 10 million a year, but she is a special case.

No not even close. It's much lower than that. The Motorola sponsorship on Danica's car is only $7 million. The 7/11 sponsorship on Kanaans car is worth $6 million.

It varies from driver to driver, based upon their contract.

Some get a salary plus incentives based upon performance.

Some get a base figure plus a percentage of the purse.

Some get their pay from the sponsor they bring as part of the package.

I recall seeing figures early last year that Tomas Scheckter was getting something like $1.5 million when he was driving for Vision.

I would imagine that Guys like Kanaan, Castroneves, Wheldon, Dixon, etc., are getting more than that, but It probably is not a great deal higher than that....maybe in the $2 million range, but that is just an educated guess.

Most teams don't make that kind of info public.

There are two different questions here.

1. How much are the teams paying the drivers?

2. How much do drivers earn?

It is often the case that star athletes will make more from personal service contracts, sponsorship deals, etc. than they will for their actual "contract". What those numbers really are who knows. If anyone makes large money off of these types of contracts, I wouldn't doubt that Danica was one of them.
