Read the full NTSB narrative
During a touch-and-go landing the airplane landed hard on the nose wheel causing the propeller to strike the runway and damaging the firewall. The pilot said that he looked at the instruments on short final approach then looked up and saw the runway "rushing up faster that it should have been." The pilot flared but the airplane touched down nose wheel first, then bounced back into the air. The pilot applied power, executed a go-around and flew the airplane back to his departure airport. The damage was discovered after landing.
