That's a little optimistic, methinks. Probably much closer to 10 hrs. and that's an average speed of 55.5 mph when you factor in 2 gas/rest stops...

I didn't intend to get that technical about it.-- It's just an invite.
My figures obtained via Mapquest, driving directions. Franklin, Tn and Bentonville, Ar zip codes.
The result:
"Via I-40 W 8 hrs 32 mins / 555.91 miles"
