The book is nonfiction, so there are not very many literary devices. However, there is imagery describing how the Taramuhara live and how they win the greatest race humans have ever seen.
"'My life is a controlled explosion'"-Barefoot Ted (McDougall 151) This is metaphor.
"Kangoos are basically Rollerblades as designed by Wile E. Coyonte: instead of wheels, each boot sits atop a full-length steel-spring suspension that lets you boing along like you're in a moon bounce" (McDougall 155). This is another metaphor
"Covering your feet with cushioned shoes is like turning off your smoke alarms" (McDougall 157). This is a simile.
