Wrexham have accumulated 82 points and have sealed one of the three promotion spots in League Two.
Stockport also sealed their spot in England’s third tier for next season and are favourites to win the title.
Elliot Lee opened the scoring before talisman Paul Mullin doubled the lead.
Ryan Inniss put through his own net to make it three and Mullin struck again before half-time.
With the result in the bag, Ryan Barnett and Jack Marriott rounded off the scoring to make it an emphatic six.
At full-time, party mode was activated as stars could be seen celebrating on the pitch.
Lee was one of the stars that could be seen scoffing a bottle of Madri lager on the pitch.

The rest of his team-mates joined him as they sprayed the beer in jubilation.
The celebrations continued into the dressing room as the team was filmed singing “We are going up” with more beer being sprayed.
Co-owner and Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds took to social media following the result.
Reynolds admitted that he was in “tears of joy” at the promotion.
He posted: “A few years ago, if you told me I would be crying tears of joy over a football match taking place in North Wales, you would be Rob McElhenney.
“Congrats to Wrexham and to my co-chairman in crime. Double up the town! This is the ride of our lives.”
He continued: “My soul feels like it’s left my body.
“Unbelievable moment for the town, the club and the hundreds of people behind the scenes doing the hard stuff.”
While co-owner Rob McElhenney also tweeted after the result as he wrote: “No words.”
Last year, Wrexham won promotion from the National League and the players were rewarded with a trip to Las Vegas.
The club’s highest finish in the English Football League was 7th in Division Two in 1998.
How Ryan Reynolds has been watching Wrexham games in style
CO-OWNER Ryan Reynolds hasn’t been able to make it to Wrexham in recent weeks due to filming commitments.
But that hasn’t stopped him from watching his team in style.
Streaming the match on a laptop or even a TV was not grand enough for the Deadpool star as he worked on the set of his latest movie.
With a giant green screen behind him, he could not resist broadcasting Wrexham’s recent game on to the huge projector.
Reynolds and his crew watched on as the Welsh side notched their 23rd win of the season against Crawley Town.
He looked enamoured as the game played on behind him while surrounding by various pieces of Hollywood machinery.
And Reynolds captioned the moment: “Watching the Wrexham game at work: new level unlocked.”
It’s not clear what project Reynolds was working on at the time, with the actor currently developing several new movies including sequels to smash hits Free Guy and Red Notice.
