Best route from Des Moines to Nashville

[Belezabro]

Morning LACers. Driving to Nashville tomorrow from DSM. I've made this trip several times but wanted to ask for recs on the fastest route. We usually drive down highway 61 to St. Louis then Interstates 64, 57, and 24 into Nashville. But that stretch of 61 can be tedious and slow. I am considering going through Champaign on interstate 74 then 57 and 24 as this route is all interstate.

You asked for fastest, but this one is really scenic and not that much slower.
