It's certainly a jog as there is no easy way to get there. Several Interstates will be required to get there. The Appalachian mountains are beautiful, so take some time to take a "back road" and enjoy them.
Wife and I drove that route last summer, we spent the 2 nights in gatlinburg,TN. I we hiked around a bit, I especially liked driving up into the mountains, there are a few spots up at the top that have great views, I forget the names right now but within 30 mins from gatlinburg.
One thing I distinctly remember about SC.. They have really cheap gas.

Bardstown, TN, home to Makers Mark, Heaven Hill, and Jim Bean...
There is a monastery in that area too...

Keep on I-64 East to West Virginia, Cass Scenic Railroad, Babcock State Park, etc...
Check when they open...
Around 64 / 81, get on Shenandoah Parkway / Skyline Drive.
Go south, very pretty...
Goden Eagle pass for Seniors, pay once, lifetime admission, I think...

For those "country music" fans, Nashville, TN, the Country Music Museum, Ryman Auditorium, and Grand Old Opry, are also wort visiting...
Here's a tip you didn't ask for!
Not only should the vehicle be in proper order but, UPDATE your GPS!

Stay at the Marriott. It's a cut above everything else in town.
Go to Greenville, SC on the way. I love that place. Downtown is wonderful. I hope to move there in the near future.
Some of my favorite roads are very near to your journey. If you like to drive...don't miss them.
Hwy 129 - Deals Gap "Tail of the Dragon"
Blue Ridge Parkway
Cherohala Skyway
