A VW Passat mounted the pavement before striking him, officers say.
He's currently in hospital in a serious condition.
Officers stopped the car nearby on Waterloo Road not long after the incident.
A 23-year-old man from Coventry and a 22-year-old man from Stoke on Trent have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.
They remain in custody.
Det Insp James Wilde, of Blackpool CID, said evidence points to the collision being intentional.
He said: “This shocking incident has left a man with some very serious injuries, and the information we have so far would suggest that this was an intentional act."
An increased police presence in the area is to be expected.
Detectives are now appealing for anyone with information that could assist their investigation to come forward.
