We have found that 50-55 miles per hour is closer to estimate travel time. This takes into account fuel and pit stop breaks.
Your first day is going to be stressful as I -70 from St Louis to KC is always busy with semi ‘s day and night. I drove part of this for 25 years.
KC Royals have a home game on 7/17 but that shouldn’t be much of an issue.
Stay flexible, better to enjoy your trip than to have everyone upset because you are worn out
Just my 2 cents.

I used Google maps for the mileage only. I averaged 55mph on interstate part of route and 50 mph for off-interstate roads, not counting any roads in Yellowstone/Tetons since they are in a world all their own.
