Last time I ran it I went I I95-26-I40-19 then down. It's a hassle getting there anyway you go but that way you run the least bad road. Hopefully you can go on a weekday as traffic is better. On the final leg it's better to get up and run 5 hrs and arrive rested and ready to set up.
That's exactly how I'd go. Once you get off on 19 it gets to be more rural but still good road. 19 is called the Soco Rd, best I recall. It gets really twisty between Maggie Valley and Cherokee. Not sure I'd try that leg on a coach.
