James Constable gave Oxford United a half-time lead at Wrexham with his seventh goal of the season.
The team's leading scorer headed in a corner from Jamie Cook on 29 minutes.
Ryan Clarke was the busier of the two keepers in the opening 45 minutes, but Cook also missed a good opportunity to make it 2-0 when he headed Damian Batt's cross wide.
