Wrexham 5-0 Stevenage
Wrexham produced a five-star display as Brian Little's men showed in convincing style how desperate they are to bounce straight back into the Football League.
Captain Tom Kearney led by example with a 17th minute free-kick at the Racecourse before Stevenage striker Steve Morison was dismissed.
Fellow new boys Jefferson Louis and Shaun Whalley each scored either side of Wrexham's Levi Mackin's red card.
Christian Smith and Marc Williams completed the Wrexham rout late on.
