So whats wrong with I-81?
Wait, it's 8 days long?
Leave earlier and take the Skyway / Parkway all the way into Cherokee. Then jump on I40. Problem solved.
You could split the difference and take I-81 south to Roanoke before picking up the southern (more scenic) portion of the BRP all the way to Cherokee, drop down to the Cherohala over to Tellico Plains, then angle up to Crossville where you'd pick up Hwy 70 all the way to Lebanon.\

Being from the Great Plains, and riding mostly in the vast west, my nervous system simply could not endure the threat of sudden death surrounding me.
Why on earth would anyone ride the interstate to get to the rally? I supposed at one point you need to make some time, butt..... I-81 is a major truck route... so is I-40.
Here is a route that shows an awesome parallel road to I-81.
