In a high-stakes encounter between two National League heavyweights, Notts County took an early lead through a brilliant John Bostock free-kick, but Wrexham quickly responded as Paul Mullin muscled his way onto a cross to equalise and then set up Jacob Mendy for the home side's second goal.
However, Kyle Cameron headed County level, and Elliot Lee restored Wrexham's lead with a close-range finish after another assist from Mullin.
In a dramatic finish, Wrexham goalkeeper Ben Foster saved a penalty from Cedwyn Scott to secure a vital win for the Dragons.
Before the match, both teams had amassed 100 points and 106 goals, with Notts County's Macaulay Langstaff breaking a National League and club record with 41 goals over the season, while Mullin led Wrexham's scoring with 34 goals.
Despite County manager Luke Williams suggesting that the title race was "over" in late March, the win allowed Wrexham to regain top spot and maintain their advantage with a game in hand.
The match was a cagey affair in the first half, but the tempo picked up in the second half as both teams fought for the win.
Mullin was a constant threat for Wrexham, muscling past defenders and providing key assists, while Cameron and Bostock were among the standout performers for Notts County.
In the end, Wrexham's sharpness in front of goal proved decisive, as they clinched a crucial win to boost their promotion hopes.
