Ben Hinchliffe's penalty heroics helped County on their way back to Wembley after a 15-year absence via a 3-1 shoot-out win over Salford City at Edgeley Park last Saturday.
Back in 2008, County beat Rochdale to secure a place in League One.
The victors of Sunday's play-off final clash in which County take on Carlisle - will see either the Hatters or The Cumbrians seal a spot in the third tier. It potentially continues a remarkable rise up the pyramid for The Hatters, who were battling to make it out of the sixth tier just four years ago.
And after the emotion of last Saturday's win over The Ammies, Challinor is ensuring County feet remain firmly on the ground.
"I suppose, through experience as a manager, you manage to control your emotions better than your first time in the play-offs," he said.
"I've won and lost as a manager in these games, and it's a terrible way to lose but a brilliant way to win.
